Scotland is often depicted as a mystical land that is home to ancient castles, lush landscapes and, of course, the Loch Ness Monster. The photo series Elemental by Paul Hollingworth might not capture that mythical creature, but it surely does justice to landscape legends. In particular, it focuses on the Isle of Skye, the largest and most northerly large island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.
As with anywhere in the Scottish highlands, the weather is a temperamental maiden, switching from sunny skies and smiles to dark clouds and scowls in seconds. Elemental by Paul Hollingworth, a photographer based in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, captures this constant state of flux beautifully. Shot in black and white, the images are particularly moody.
