Desert Storm | Edition of 29 | Sossusvlei, Namibia

"The quality of the images was greater than I could have ever hoped for. I am proud to call myself a collector of his work."
Matthew D. ·
Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft National Park contains some of the tallest sand dunes on earth - formations that have been accumulating for five million years in a desert that has been continuously arid for longer than that. Rain is rare enough that when storms do form over the Namib they are a photographic event in themselves. This image was captured from above the cloud layer as weather moved in over the dunes - the orange and red of the sand visible beneath the grey-white of the forming storm, the scale relationship between the two made legible only by the altitude of the shot.
The layered composition - dunes below, cloud above, the horizon line between them - gives this image a depth and drama that most aerial desert photographs lack. It works as a strong statement piece in any space where the subject can carry the wall on its own.
