ACADIA NATIONAL PARK - FILM

These photographs were taken with a Canon AE-1 in Acadia National Park, a place where the meeting of rugged coastline, dense forest, and open sky creates a landscape that feels both dramatic and deeply serene at the same time. Shooting on film encouraged a slower, more intentional approach—waiting for light to break through coastal fog, watching waves carve against granite cliffs, and noticing how quickly the mood of a scene can shift from bright and expansive to quiet and introspective. Acadia has a way of feeling vast without being overwhelming, where every turn offers something distinct — soft morning haze over the water, wind moving through evergreens, the contrast of sharp rock against the ocean’s constant motion. This series leans into those qualities, using the texture and grain of film to echo the rawness and beauty of the park, capturing not just how it looks, but how it feels to be there—immersed, present, and aware of something both powerful and quietly enduring.
