France Villa Belza
Villa Beltza, built in Biarritz in the 19th century right on the oceanfront, was once the site of lavish, wild parties attended by figures such as Igor Stravinsky and the future King of England, Edward VIII. It has also been the subject of legends about witchcraft and ghosts, and has suffered fires.... Incidentally, “Beltza” means “black” in Basque... It is this mysterious, and somewhat unsettling, atmosphere that I sought to capture with this long exposure of 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
