Forest


There are mix feelings about being inside a forest. Tranquility, but a certain melancholy. If the trees are very tall, almost covering the sky, and if there's no sunlight coming through empty passages, it becomes dark and colder, almost claustrophobic, nevertheless beautiful.

this photo is so magical though! It reminds me of fairytales like little red riding hood or Hansel & Gretel though and they definitely have a darkside!

I live behind a forest & I always think that there is a lot of dangers in there! Like a lion/tiger will just pop out there..

Tahda, I'm glad you think so, because that's what I intended to achieve with this picture. I just dream of creating an entire photo shoot inspired by darksy fairy tales with a Tim Burton-esque touch. But I need a model! haha

Grinda, it says "this video is not available in your country" when I copy/paste the URL. =/

Thank u all for sharing your thoughts!

this is beautiful - is it a scan or digital?

Romeika said...

coppeoranges, thanks! It's digital, but I use photoshop to age it and look a bit like vintage film.
