Marine Hugonnier: Ocean Photographs

Posted on | July 9, 2009 | 11 Comments

I spotted the above photo in the August issue of House Beautiful. The photo is blown up really large, simply framed, and hanging over a large bed. The twinkle of the sea and the expansiveness of the sky draws me in. The small image above doesn’t do it justice. I so want it!

The image shot by Marine Hugonnier is part of series called, Toward Tomorrow. The compilation of images are ‘the result of a trip to the Bering Strait in Alaska to photograph across the International Date Line into Siberia. Due to its geographical position, Siberia is always 24 hours ahead of Alaska. The photographs are therefore, in effect, pictures of a future moment’ How poetic.

It's impossible to get tired of the sea and sky, isn't it? So beautiful.

queen shenaynay– go to her website with the portfolio. There is a listing for a gallery she is represented by that you can buy prints through.

I also fell in love with this print – anyone know if it's possible to purchase one? Or if it's possible for an average mortal to purchase one?

For ordering info please contact Marine through her website. http://www.marinehugonnier.com/oeuvre.php?media=2&serie=6&oeuvre=1

Updated on 3/10/11: Looks like this website is down. Sorry guys I don’t have any more info.

In terms of more affordable choices. I would try taking your own photograph and blowing it up-which is what I’m going to try.

I tried to purchase one. I think it worked out to $31,000! Has anyone seen something similar for a more reasonable price?
