Nature: Honorable Mention 2021 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Once upon a time, some plants were tired of seeing the same scenery: they dreamed of going on an adventure, to see if the grass is greener elsewhere... But how to do that when you are literally planted on the spot, with your roots deep in the ground, without being able to move an inch?... They had to transform themselves to become new independent entities, able to move!
This photo is one of the portraits of a series made from plants photographed in different Breton (France) gardens. After a few photographic manipulations, these plants are transformed into imaginary and mysterious creatures, ready to discover new horizons! Here is one of the portraits of these Photographically Modified Organisms (PMO).
AUTHOR
I’m from Brittany (France), living by the sea. I’m especially fascinated by the small details of the natural scenery that surrounds me, these little things that we don’t always see at first glance and that disappear very quickly, the time of a wink. I’m fascinated by these fleeting and ephemeral moments that are offered to us by Nature. I capture them before they disappear. I then intervene on these ”snapshots” to better appropriate them, to add my sensations and emotions, to tell a story. Nature is an artist and I try to capture her creations, and to add my personal touch.
