Panoramic nominee

A forest panorama in green dance. "Matrix Motion" is a conceptual journey through structure and order. The composition of the picture emphasizes the rhythmic arrangement of the trees, which appear to be moving. They are spaced at regular intervals, their trunks forming geometric patterns reminiscent of a matrix. At the same time, the technique of shooting gives the image a living, breathing dimension that breaks the static order and fills the image with energy and depth. The green ranges from dark to light shades, creating a harmonious symphony of nature.

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.
