Photograph of the Month June 2024 – Desert Fire

The photograph of the month for June 2024 comes from my recent Namibia Masterclass workshop (Trip Report coming very soon) and is of the Namib dune sea at sunset. This particular part of the Namib desert is one of my favourite locations. This an area I have been returning to on each visit, and it always offers a fantastic play of light, shadow and sand. Interestingly, I have never seen anyone else in this area – even though it is relatively easily accessed and is only a short walk off the main tourist road into Deadvlei. The photograph plays on shadow and light and uses geometric form as its subject. The interplay of shadow and light and the drama of the flying sand is what makes this such a strong photograph for me. I will return to Namibia again in 2026 – full details will be posted soon.
