The newest assortment in Christoffer Relander’s We Are Nature collection returns to the thrill and surprise of childhood. Melding portraits with leaves, landscapes, and the occasional cat, the Finnish photographer (beforehand) superimposes human silhouettes with lush environments to discover the inherent connections between the 2.
Relander created every picture fully in digital camera, utilizing a number of exposures to layer the completely different elements. With faint traces of a nostril or ear peeking by the expansion, the ethereal compositions generally mimic human options, like a spindly department stretching upward instead of a backbone.
Vol. VII is the latest addition to the continuing collection and focuses on Relander’s youngsters. He shares:
Watching them develop and uncover the world has been a mirror to my previous, drawing me again to recollections of my childhood. Via them, I’m reminded of the purity and uncooked connection to nature we frequently lose as adults. This shift in perspective has introduced contemporary power to the undertaking, permitting me to discover these themes of innocence, curiosity, and the pure world with new depth.
