Nature in black and white
Although I've lived in cities all of my life, I sincerely believe that all people are deeply connected with nature. We may be stubborn, selfish, silly humans that destroy our environment, but we are part of this beautiful, yet complex universe. We all share the same planet. 

My anxiety disappears into thin air whenever I spend some time close to nature. I am inspired by the mesmerizing beauty around me. A leaf's texture or the hypnotizing formations of a wave. Feeling a soft flower petal with your fingers or the harsh texture of a rock. There is a soothing effect in toning down and trying to balance with the energy that surrounds nature. 

I've selected some of my favorite black & white photographs depicting natural elements and I hope you enjoy them.
