Trees From Above is a collection of black and white images of trees from an unlikely view- from directly overhead- made with a drone using snow as a white backdrop. The trees have been removed from their usual context and portrayed as if they were photographed in a giant studio. The images reveal familiar characteristics that we are used to seeing and admiring: grace, power, femininity, masculinity, symmetry and balance- but from an entirely new perspective. Additionally, some of the images bear a striking resemblance to the veins and arteries of the Human respiratory system, a fitting reminder of the importance of trees and their role as the “lungs of the Earth.”
I am hopeful that this series helps to inspire a renewed appreciation for the trees that sustain us, and, hopefully, a renewed effort to preserve and protect this precious resource.
