Thomas Bertilsson's long exposures turn seascapes into gradients where horizon lines barely register, waves dissolve into fog and tidal pools mirror skies with unsettling clarity. His black and white work transforms recognizable coastal formations into meditative abstractions that prioritize tone and negative space. Bertilsson is someone who knows that dramatic weather isn't a necessity when compelling coastal work is the goal. Patience and an understanding that film records water differently than the eye perceives it are more than sufficient.
