Documenting Venomous Forests - There’s just something different about the leaves from Alicante.
Eery and atmospheric, this photo series features a variety of leaves washed in abstract light. Photographed in Alicante, Spain Mefer turns ordinary leaves into enticing subjects using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Each photo uses the darkness present in the image to enhance the colours. Violet, orange, indigo and red all appear alongside deep hues of green. The clever use of light and shade convey a sense of tension creating more than a static photo, but an image that feels like a still of an active scene.
Al Mefer included this poem alongside the images. I was entering a void of no-nature Of forests deserted by live creatures Which inspired the sermon of no preacher In this wasteland of ghosts a portraiture When I encountered these monsters Among lakes of firey mist Some blood emerged from my wrists And made of my cries a loud concert I'd been doomed by the kiss Of the children of the inert Which with beauty threat no danger 'Til one can't fight any longer ALMEFER.COM | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | PRINTS
