Yasuragi | Lake Nakuru | African Wildlife Prints
In YASURAGI, captured on the tranquil waters of Lake Nakuru, Kenya, I sought to portray a moment where nature’s beauty converges with a sense of profound stillness. Nine cormorants perch on bare branches, their reflections mirrored in the lake’s surface, embodying balance and harmony. As one pelican glides into the frame, its gentle wake creates subtle ripples, adding texture and depth to the serene composition. This scene resonates with the Japanese concept of yasuragi — an invitation to find calmness and peace in the simplicity of nature. The high-key black-and-white style accentuates the elegance of form and movement, capturing the spirit of these birds in their quiet habitat.
This image was a moment of waiting and observation, aligning with the patience required to reveal the often-overlooked poetry of wildlife.
I hope YASURAGI inspires viewers to appreciate the stillness found in nature and the harmony we can find within ourselves.
