Eons

Eons is a black and white photography series that explores rock and stone textures. The images show a sandstone cliff found during a hike, where the rock has been shaped by the elements over a very long period. Each composition was framed closely so that the rock faces read as abstract works of art. Natural light was used, and strong contrasts of light and shadow replace the yellow tone of the stone. The series is intended for interior decoration and branding, and the prints can be produced in various sizes and finishes.

Miniature Size Landscape

Miniature Size Landscape is a photography series that presents small natural scenes as if they were vast worlds. Grasses, mosses, flowers and other plants growing at the feet of passers-by become the setting. A one inch tall dwarf figure travels through each scene, and every view is composed as if seen through the eyes of that dwarf. The images are made with a wide macro lens, focus stacking for deep focus, and linear, occlusive and aerial perspective. The aim is to recall the imagined worlds of childhood and to encourage care for nature.
