Ellen Borggreve about Forest of Cascades
We visited a large waterfall in the area and I really struggled to make an original image, I did not like the idea of photographing it from a platform and in the end I said to my husband that I was going to go into the forest, because this cascade must come from somewhere and there might be a much more interesting and authentic photograph to be made upstream. So I climbed up into the forest and ended up on a very narrow plateau, I literally could not have taken one step backwards, but there was this group of trees that I fell in love with the moment I saw it. The waterfall is part of the background, but the trees and the woodland are the subject of this photograph. This is the kind of intimate woodland picture I like to create, little scenes that are not always that obvious. Over the years this has become one of my top favourite images.

The focus is on tranquil scenes that seem to lie outside everyday reality, without people in the picture, with subjects that are about to disappear often being the subject. The fleeting patterns in the sand, but especially old forest giants that are disappearing at breakneck speed due to climate change.
