Shutter Speed/Abstract - Xavier Rey

Self taught, French Fine Art photographer Xavier Rey only came to photography as recently as 2005.  Xavier is well known for his square, sea and waterscape photographs.  Majority of them taken in black in white with a very long exposure.  He's images are very minimalistic and have clean, soft lines and dream like feel to them.  The long exposure has helped to create a fluidity in the movement of his images.  They also have a very abstract feel to them.    
When I look at the images I feel they bring a certain sense of serenity, calmness and tranquillity.  Looking at his images it's so very easy to get lost in the moment - that moment of quite reflection.  This is one of the most wonderful ways of using long shutter speed and producing some fantastic images, of the beauty that surrounds all of us.
