Eszra Photography: Brilliantly Illuminated Sunsets and Skyscapes

Eszra is also known to capture powerful cloud formations, and mix them with intricate ground planes. Eszra live in Navarre, Florida and has his art photography displayed in galleries in Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach and Destin.

Eszra’s photographic process includes taking multiple exposures of a landscape and then mixing them together with software to correct the camera’s limited exposure range. This is referred to as Dynamic Range Increase (DRI) or as he calls it, “Blended Exposure.”

Only by taking the best light from several exposures could Eszra truly accentuate the intense warm colors.

Eszra also manipulates the colors and light in his images to give them a “painted” feeling. For example, in some of his landscapes the sky seems to be textured by large brushstrokes of blue paint.
