Matt Molloy   Lapsed Skys inspiration

This collection dramatic skyscapes are the work of Canadian photographer Matt Molloy. By combining hundreds of time-lapse shots of each scene, Molloy creates these stunning images. “I’m a great fan of experimenting. Much like this process, you never know what you’re going to get” the risks have paid off for Molloy, this technique produces drama and movement, creating photographic art which could almost pass for painting.
