Adore Noir - April 2016

ISSUE 31 • APRIL • 2016

Lee Anne White, our cover photo artist, tells us that “plants have personality,” In her feature, A Bowing Acquaintance With Plants, she turns her artistic lens to the dance of the plant, they bow, they whisper and they twirl from the screen, inviting you in to a whole new world.

Marco Castelli tells us how his urge to travel to space resulted in the work we see in, A Micro Odyssey. Instead of going out to space Castelli went in; he turned his lens to the microorganism.

Thomas Crauwels favourite subject is the Matterhorn. In Majestic Alps, he unveils a series of photos that take your breath away. The mist and cloud cover snowy peaks, and hints of sun come through, here and there, and light up the icy peaks.

In her series, Hereafter, Rebecca Sexton Larson, creates new worlds via historic processes. She says: “The objective is not to directly document physical surroundings but to imagine environments we have yet to understand or see.” Her photos intrigue as they walk as through, what look to be historical photo-graphs, and then bring us into a possible narrative of the future.

In Silence Rafal Krol showcases a series of seascapes where the world quiets to a whisper as we scroll through his photos of calm waters, where blankets of mist hint at the greater cacophony going on, but like a gently fallen snow, lull us into believing in the quiet.
