“Nature can be appreciated in many ways. Sometimes through the excitement of a wildlife encounter, but just as often through colour, form, atmosphere, light and visual harmony.

This collection brings together galleries that explore a different artistic side of nature photography. Some focus on the elegance and beauty of particular species, others celebrate light, weather and landscape, while several push conventional compositional boundaries by capturing the transient, evocative and sensory qualities of the natural environment.

Many of these images arise from an exploration of visual patterns and harmonies—relationships of colour, light, shape, texture and atmosphere that, through the compression of perspective and variations in depth of field, transform scenes into impressionistic compositions.”
