Pontusval, Brittany. ☁️

Here’s a little story from my trip to Brittany, a place filled with incredible and otherworldly landscapes.

Pontusval Lighthouse was one of the spots I was most excited to shoot. I had seen so many photos of it before and couldn’t wait to capture my own. I only had one chance to visit, and it happened to be high tide that afternoon, so I stayed closer to the beach. This made finding the right angle and composition a true challenge.

I took my time, standing there and figuring out how to capture the lighthouse in a way that felt just right. The beach near it is full of rocks, and I wanted my shot to feel clean, not too messy.

This lighthouse, like many in Brittany (except maybe Petit Minou 🫢), was harder to photograph than I expected. By that, I mean finding a composition that worked, something simple yet powerful, took a bit of effort.

With only a few shots to work from, I focused on making the most of what I had. I simplified the composition and made everything that’s not the lighthouse or the nearby rocks less distracting.

I’m really happy with how it turned out. Sometimes, working with what you have and keeping things simple is all it takes.
