TITLE: Strength

This tree stands alone at the water's edge, embodying unparalleled strength. Covered in snow, rooted in frozen ground by a frozen lake, it perseveres through the harshest winters. And yet, every spring, it bursts back to life—a true testament to resilience and renewal.

I'm an analogue photographer. I shoot mostly black and white medium format film. I love the entire process from the film selection through composition all the way to lightroom manipulation and printing. I actually believe analogue printing is an integral part of black and white film photography, and it is only then when the images finally come to life.
