HERITAGE PHOTOGRAPHY GREECE

Deep Timescapes documents locations across Greece that show signs of prehistoric human activity, all photographed by moonlight. This unique, low-intensity illumination reveals subtle details while emphasizing the deep time embedded in these landscapes. The light captured is sunlight that has traveled eight minutes to Earth and an additional 1.3 seconds to reflect off the moon. Long exposures allow the camera to slowly collect light over time—essentially gathering time itself—resulting in clear, high-quality documentation of textures and forms.

At times, artificial man-made light subtly intrudes—distant streetlights, passing cars, or the glow of nearby settlements creeping into the frame. These unintended illuminations serve as a reminder of the present, layering modern human activity over ancient landscapes.Their presence accentuates the contrast between past and present, emphasizing our enduring connection across time and place—not only to the ancestors who once inhabited these landscapes but also to the future generations who will inherit them.
