Nymphe de la Foret

An analogue series of photos inspired by the longing to be one with nature.

The “Nymphe de la Forêt” photographic series is an expression of my longing to be one with nature.

Carl Jung puts it so wisely:

“Whenever we touch nature we get clean. People who have got dirty through too much civilization take a walk in the woods, or a bath in the sea. Entering the unconscious, entering yourself through dreams, is touching nature from the inside and this is the same thing, things are put right again."

The photo sessions always commence with a long walk in nature on bare feet. Before we start photographing it's important to me that we connect deeply with nature and really feel the silence and energy of the forest. It's like a meditation. After a while when the forest starts speaking to us I know it's the cue to start taking pictures. The process is often magical.

All images are photographed on film.
