N estled in the quiet of Lake Huron lies Manitoulin Island, a place known as the heart and soul of the Canadian Great Lakes, its stunning sweet water glistening in the day’s sun, pristinely mirroring a clouded blue sky and creating an image that perfectly embodies the adage: “as above, so below”. Along the water’s edge, you are apt to find photographer Guinevere Joy, who has put her heart and soul into capturing the unadulterated beauty of Manitoulin Island as part of her Light & Water series. This series, which Joy has been creating for the better part of decade, explores the interactions between light and water during long exposures. As the main setting for this body of work is Manitoulin Island, as well as the surrounding Lake Huron and inland lakes, many of the images feature water in its different forms: liquid, snow, mist and ice. As an avid traveller, Joy is disposed to living abroad, and has expanded her series to reflect her personal journeys around the world. With her clean, elegant style and ability to incorporate different aspects of design into her compositions, Joy has accomplished a spectacular collection of pieces that calm the mind, warm the heart and touch the soul. 122 inspadesmag.com
