Geography of Solitude
by Davide Terrile·Support
A figure crosses an expanse that erases the boundaries between earth and sky. The path is the only possible measure of space, a fragile line drawn in mineral silence. The horizon is not a destination, but the very condition of the landscape.
The choice of a wide-angle focal length (18mm) is essential to emphasize the vastness of the scene, placing the human figure in a dialectical relationship with the immensity. The aperture at f/5.6 and the very fast shutter speed (1/2000s) freeze the moment in harsh light, ensuring sharpness that extends from the textures of the ground to the pattern of the clouds.
