Prague based Martin Rak is an accomplished landscape photographer who we have featured here before; today we take a look at some more of his pictures. Tree photography, due to the scale, is one of the more difficult plant genres to master. Rak has managed it well, showing a range of engaging composition styles. One of these is to capture delicate vertical branches with brightly coloured leaves breaking free from densely packed misty groves. There is something about his arrangements and lighting that make you feel like you are right there; you feel the cold, the sun, the magic of dawn and the quiet isolation of being alone in the forest. And as Rak himself justly states, “It is a beautiful feeling to stand on a cliff in the morning silence, above the endless sea of clouds and to be there when the first light touches the landscape. I try to capture this atmosphere with my camera and share it with you.”
