Ep 102 - Photographically Exploring the Scottish Hebrides with Margaret Soraya
Manage episode 371072532 series 2954022
Margaret Soraya is a Scottish landscape photographer who explores the Scottish Hebrides to capture the untouched beauty of the coastline and sandy beaches. Her work celebrates solitude and questions society's favoritism towards extroversion. Through evocative images, Soraya highlights the power of peace in nurturing creativity.
Her minimalist compositions and limited color palette create a sense of calm and stillness. By using long exposures, she transforms stormy seas into tranquil impressions reminiscent of impressionist paintings. Soraya's softly spoken nature is reflected in her gentle message of encouragement and hope.
Her studies of Luskentyre beach and the Harris hills invite viewers to immerse themselves in solitude, offering a space for reflection and daydreaming. Scarista Sands, in particular, holds a special place in Soraya's heart due to its remote and peaceful nature. Her photographs capture the incredible light that illuminates this beautiful Hebridean location.
Soraya's work serves as a reminder to embrace the positive aspects of solitude in an increasingly busy and connected world, where moments of peace and self-awareness are essential for personal growth and creativity.
We discuss how her move to Harris came about, how her passion for the sea has driven her creativity and how her style is developing to incorporate split underwater/over water imagery along with much more!
I hope you enjoy the show!
