Remarkable Road (2002) Photograph by Gary Moger

The Remarkables, New Zealand. 2002.

The world below has disappeared.

Late climb the night before. Camping in the cold. Up before dawn to virtually no visibility on the low ground — just white. Nothing. And then Gary started walking higher.
Step by step the cloud dropped away beneath him, and this is what was waiting. A mountain road curving along the ridge, the crash barriers catching the early light. Below — a perfect, unbroken sea of cloud, the valleys completely swallowed. Above — mountain peaks and nothing but deep blue sky, all the way to the edge of the atmosphere.
This is one of those views that stops you in your tracks. That makes you question whether what you're looking at is real.

Shot on a Leica M6 with Kodak Portra NC film, the image carries the warmth and tonal richness that only analogue photography can offer. All of Gary's work is captured full frame, exactly as the scene appeared. Nothing is cropped, nothing is manipulated. What you see is what was there.

A Note on Process
Every print I sell is made in my own studio and checked for every detail and quality before I pack it for shipping. I use plastic free packaging.
The paper I use is the finest quality and after years of experimenting, I find it gives the best tonal range and finish.
Hahnemühle has been making art papers for hundreds of years.

Leica M6 camera, Kodak portrait NC film, Hahnemuhle Photorag Archival paper
