All of these images are from Marin County, CA. Marin is in the California Floristic Province, a zone of extremely high biodiversity. There are various micro climates and ecosystems, as well as a large variety of trees – from Coastal Redwoods to large stands of live and dead Oak, Acacia, Madrone and more.
Using a Gigapan panoramic device, these images are comprised of anywhere between 40 and 100 individual images stitched together to create 1 composite image. I’ve tried to bend reality by positioning myself as close as possible to the trees so that the perspective is distorted and creates a more dreamlike image. All of the images are on archival 120 GSM matt paper.
