{"product_id":"water-falls-closeup-in-new-zealand","title":"Abstract New Zealand Waterfall Black and White Square Photography Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis square New Zealand waterfall print brings an abstract study of water to your wall. Black and white streams, fine spray and dark glimpses of rock fill the close-up photograph with movement and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI moved in close to this waterfall in New Zealand in 2016 because the water itself was what interested me. Rather than showing the whole landscape, I filled the square frame with streams, spray and darker glimpses of rock. The black and white photograph becomes an abstract study of falling water, with its scale left open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broad white stream runs down the left side, breaking into brighter bursts as it falls. To the right, finer trails and veils of spray cross deeper grey areas. Some parts look soft; others have a distinct, almost granular texture. I wanted those differences to remain visible, because they carry more of the waterfall’s energy than a perfectly smooth surface would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater fascinates me photographically because a small change in timing can alter the whole image. Here, the frame holds several kinds of movement together: dense falling water, fine suspended spray and narrow streams that reappear against the dark background. There is no shoreline or horizon to settle the eye, so the changing shapes become the route through the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI chose monochrome to concentrate on form and contrast. The brightest areas stand clearly against the darker rock, while softer grey passages connect them. This print would suit someone drawn to natural abstracts or moving water, especially in a space where texture matters more than colour. What I value most is that the photograph keeps the falls recognisable while letting their patterns become something I can study on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2016\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606584569935,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40576290652239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606554783823,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40576290685007,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602038653007,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40576290717775,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185214857295,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Abstract-New-Zealand-Waterfall-Photography-in-Black-and-White-1b.jpg?v=1791393334","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/water-falls-closeup-in-new-zealand","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
