LIFE IS…

in the little things, the moments of magic you hold onto and relive again and again. Australian coal miner turned aquatic photographer Ray Collins has captured this concept in a uniquely rich way with his recent series of Cinemagraph Waves.

CREATED IN…

collaboration with Dutch photographer / cinematographer Armand Dijcks, the series layers rapid fire stills from Collins’ camera to create slow motion picture-movies that allow viewers to take in stunningly detailed compositions of color, light, form, and force in looped moments of beauty.

TO MARK…

the series, Dijcks and Collins created ‘The Infinite Now’ a movie compilation of their cinemagraphs set to music custom composed by pianist Jeroen van Vliet and André Heuvelman from the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra . A perfect celebration of the fleeting, just in time for summer.
