All Photos © Renate Aller

Renate Aller has been photographing the Atlantic Ocean from a single point on the beach of eastern Long Island for over ten years. The result is a contemplative study of timelessness and the power of light. The scenes are pristine painterly images in luminous cool tones, empty of events and creatures, but still alive.

These photographs have been compiled into Oceanscapes, One View Ten Years, published by Radius Books. To see more of Aller’s work click here.
