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.
