Landscape nominee

A dense, white haze hovers above the ground. The concentration of the finest water droplets creates a cloudiness in the air that is impossible for the eye to see. The contours of the landscapes, the trees blur with this foggy grey. They dissolve and almost disappear. The trees remain motionless in the fog - reduced, mystical and yet intimate.
This photo of the series "Brouillard" was taken in the close surroundings where I live.

These are Analogue photography in large format 4x5" on colour slide film.

For over 20 years, Swiss landscape photographer Oliver Wehrli has combined photography, technology and nature to create photographs that speak a silent yet forceful language. He prefers realistic depictions that appear natural and subtle, showing landscapes unchanged in order to remind the viewer of the beauty of nature without detours via abstraction. He finds his motifs in the close surroundings of his native Switzerland as well as in the vast landscapes of Europe or New Zealand. The photographer prefers to go out into nature with an analogue camera. For him, analogue photography represents the reduction to the essential - namely composing and capturing the image.
