Description

It’s not every day you get chance to stand on a frozen lake, never mind drive a car at high speed on one. Shot in Sweden on the most piercingly bright sunny day I’d seen in ages, with a temperature of -25c, when the car engine stops, the silence sings in your ears.

Sweden is one of the most beautiful places I’ve photographed, but technically one of the most challenging. That’s what makes it so rewarding when the shots work.

For the CGI retouchers out there, just think of the kind of shot you could make out of this as a background….
