I took photos of this mushroom on a tree stump on a cloudy day and on a sunny day. The difference is huge. The light the direction of light has such a huge impact on the result. In the first photo , taken last I added the lingonberry as an effect.

I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.

These are such magical images, Ritva! I love to see fungi out in the wild and to photograph them. Autumn is the time of year to be out there, too 🙂 Thank you for sharing such beautiful and inspiring photos.
