entry description
White is a part of bigger story- not finished yet. I am trying to show my connection to the nature, with all the emotions and feelings which grow up when I am alone. I do not use photoshop all is made in camera in 1 shout. I do not change my enviroment and do not look for any special locations. I took this photographs during my long distance hiking trips in last year. (South of Sweden, Picos d'Europa, and Lapland). I decided to use a plastic foil- to represent my job- I am a sportswear (outdoor wear) designer. Plastic from one side lets us to be safe in the nature (technical clothes, tents. utralight equipment) in other is guilty for polutions and changes. White is a strange colour too- in our culture represents innocence, but also ghosts, fears, emptiness, clearness and light. For me it is also colour of cold and death.about the photographer
