SELECTED WORK · FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY FROM NORWAY
A single fern frond emerges from the dark forest. Side lighting reveals every delicate branch, while the surrounding woodland almost disappears into shadow.
The Quiet Architecture of a Fern
What draws me to this photograph is the arrangement of the tiny leaflets. Light reveals their repeating forms while the surrounding forest recedes. The dark background gives the fern room to breathe and allows its delicate structure to take centre stage.
An easily overlooked subject that develops a presence of its own when examined more closely. Green, light and shadow are enough to create a quiet fine art photograph.
