to illustrate the F.T weekend magazine feature on the shetland islands capturing the icy colours, lighting and the texture of the weather after a stormy boat journey to the dark islands.
key ideas: to capture the colours, wind and weather of the winter boat journey undertaken by the writer “last night…the ship bucked and tossed as if we were on a fairground ride..the gale has dropped outside and it has started to freeze. weather is everything in shetland…we always know which way the wind is blowing”
