A terrible beauty

Bout Yeh lead photographer’s fine art photography portfolio wins Silver at Moscow International Photo Awards 2020

When Bout Yeh lead photographer Stephen S T Bradley was entering his portfolio of cloudscapes in this year’s Moscow International Foto Awards, the W B Yeats poem ‘A Terrible Beauty’ came to mind as an apt title for Stephen’s winning entry of skies high above Northern Ireland.

Stephen’s entry included airliner vapour trails juxtaposed with naturally formed cloud formations, caught in an ethereal dance high above Cave Hill, Northern Ireland.

Each image was created from a single shot, with adjustments to exposure, contrast and saturation.

This photo series, which won silver in the science/environment category against competition from thousands of photographers across the globe, will be showcased in the MIFA Best of Show exhibition in Moscow later this year.
