entry description
At night the world transforms from the familiar to mystical. Shapes and sounds take new meanings, as the Universe above reveals itself in all its majesty. Its beauty hypnotizes and pulls us in. Shot using long exposure, a flashlight and in-camera techniques, the stars leave unique trails, creating a dynamic connection between the sky and earthly realms. Due to the technique, some images appear to have a painterly feeling, blurring the line between real and imagined. The forest itself becomes a hero of a fairytale. Several colours are enhanced in post.about the photographer
