The Sail at Dusk

Barceloneta, Barcelona · June 2022

DJI Mavic Air 2, 5 millimetres, f 2.8, 1/13 of a second, ISO 510

Shot from over the water, looking back at the city switching on.

The W stands at the end of Barceloneta like a sail that never left. I flew out over the water as the light dropped, and the building went from glass to silhouette in the space of a few minutes — the city behind it just starting to switch on. Low-key, moody, and better for everything it doesn't show.
