Even though I am not fond of photographing alleys that are so obviously planted and straightened by humans, I love this path. The light seems to be different in this area than anywhere else and on this particular foggy September morning, the same morning when I created Saga of the Obscure Trees which is also available as a print, I had extensive issues with my camera, but the light was amazing. I made an image of this scene and had to take a second shot because my camera failed and I wanted to be sure that one of the images would be captured correctly. All of a sudden a haze hovered in the foliage on top and lit up the top of this frame which was one of those magical moments that I am always so grateful for to witness this with my own eyes. It made this maybe slightly more common scene come to life in a very unexpected way
Ellen Borggreve is a landscape photographer and author of Woodscapes and Praxisbuch Wälder fotografieren, among others. She was born and raised in the woods of the Veluwe where her love for trees originated. Besides forests she also likes to photograph Dutch coastal scenes.
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.
Ellen is an awarded photographer at 1x and was named one of the world's best landscape photographers by Photoblog in 2019. Her work has been published in books, Nature Photography Magazine, Focus, Landscape Photography Magazine, On Landscape and many other publications. She shares her knowledge gained during her long career as a soft sculpture artist and designer combined with over 40 years of experience in photography in the many articles she writes for Landscape Photography Magazine and also her own blog. She also enjoys teaching where she puts the individual vision of photographers first.
