nature & landscape

![The texture and grain give this image a timeless depth. The fine grass in the foreground stands sharply against the soft, blurred hills behind it, creating a quiet tension between detail and distance. The film grain adds warmth and presence, turning a simple landscape into something almost tactile.]()

![This was my first experiment with high-contrast film (Kodalith). The result was dramatic — the tree reduced to a pure silhouette, the sun exploding above it like a spotlight in an empty stage. Every detail fades into black or white, nothing in between, giving the scene a surreal, almost mystical intensity.]()
