Honorable Mention TIFA 2025 Nature / Aerial

Under The Cloud Ceiling

  • Photographer
    Nicholas Dunn

A blanket of cloud drapes the mountains while Vatnajökull’s outlet spills forward in shattered polygons. Blue ice and ash lines braid together, the movement of the glacier set against the still sky.

Nicholas Dunn began photographing at age ten, inspired by his father and grandmother. From the Kansas plains to landscapes abroad, he developed a style rooted in abstraction, where nature reads like drawing or design. By eighteen, his work earned international recognition, including multiple honors at the International Photography Awards with a second place in Architecture/Historic. Through fire, water, ice, and land, Nicholas seeks to reveal the patterns and fleeting visions etched by the earth itself.
