TREE WHISPERING (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Time seems to stand still. The leaf tree stands calmly in the place it has been living in all its life. The surroundings are familiar to it, as are the returning seasons. It is wearing the last coloured autumn leaves
Shot in analogue panoramic 6x17 with slide film Provia100F.
AUTHOR
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.
