Ruby Beach, a jewel of the Washington State’s rugged Olympic National Park coastline, has a siren’s call that draws nature lovers and artists alike. The interplay of ruby-tinged sands, weathered sea stacks, sprawling driftwood, and tumultuous tides is a feast for the eyes. But I found a certain magic that emerges when you remove the vibrant colors, revealing the soul of this iconic landscape in black and white.
My journey to Ruby Beach in 2013 was more than just a vacation – it sparked a passion project. Black and white photography became my medium, a tool to distill the wild essence of this place. Here, shapes, textures, and patterns danced before my lens. The stark light of the Pacific Northwest coast etched stories into the cliffs, the water, and the ancient bones of driftwood.
With each image, I aspired to capture the drama, the mystery, and the enduring beauty of Ruby Beach. Majestic sea stacks pierced the horizon while intricate tide pools reflected the skies. Each composition was a meticulous play of light, shadow, motion, and stillness. From intimate details to vast panoramas, the heart of Ruby Beach thrummed through my lens.
