The muted Finnish winter landscape and lighting conditions inspired me to explore winter minimalism. The landscape was barren and sparse, not a sole in sight. The temperature was a mild -2 Celsius. As I set up my camera, a man on a kelkka - a small sled equipped with runners, glided elegantly into my composition providing a focal point interest, sense of scale and an element of surprise and mystery to the moment.
