ARID WILDERNESS No.2 - SEPIA EDITION
Arid Wilderness No. 2 - Sepia Edition presents an expansive Namibian desert landscape reduced to its most essential elements — land, light, and silence. Weathered rock formations rise gently from the plains, their forms softened by distance and dust, while the vast openness between them invites stillness rather than movement. The image has been treated with a lithographic process and finished in a subtle sepia tone, lending it a quiet, almost archival quality, as though drawn from another era. Gentle tonal shifts replace strong contrast, allowing texture and form to speak softly rather than declare themselves. The result is an image that feels suspended outside of time — neither anchored to a specific moment nor defined by place alone.

ABOUT THE DE LENDE COLLECTION
Photographed over ten years, and culminating in a coffee table book called "Moments of Grace", these superb fine art prints are a joy to behold. The collection was photographed on photographic film, which the artist then custom-developed in chemistry to attain the ideal contrast and colour. The slides were then drum scanned and prepared for print with reference to the original photo without any digital alteration. Editioned to twenty-five prints, this portfolio of panoramic landscapes is iconic.

A master landscape photographer who understands light and his craft perfectly. With a detailed eye for quality without compromise and an unprecedented understanding of composition, this portfolio of exhibition quality panoramic prints.

Koos van der Lende Koos van der Lende photographs on a 6 × 17 cm panoramic camera, entirely by hand, and nothing is altered afterwards. For eighteen years he worked alone in the wild places of Southern Africa, eight to ten weeks at a time, carrying three hundred rolls of film that hold four pictures each. More about the artist
