In the summer of 2010, I took on a personal project to photography the Dead Sea in Jordan in black and white. There are currently so many images of how beautiful it is with it’s serene sunsets and amazing landscape.

Yet, I thought how come there were never any photo’s in black and white showing or depicting the empty eeriness of it.

Driving about 25min, just past the hotels and tourist area, there is a section of the sea where you can walk down to the shore and see the dirty salt deposits and just how empty of any life, hot it can be. I tried to depict that emotion with these photo’s.
