The artist for these photos is Frank Machalowski. The title of this series is Tierwald. Frank’s photos in this series make the viewer question whether the animal is actually present in the photo or if it is just amazing photoshop work. The pictures have a mysterious quality about them that is created using mist. Machaloski used both analogue and digital for these photos. The forest is shot in analogue in a medium format or 35mm and they are processed traditionally. The animals are shot in digital at zoos. These images are a result of incredible photoshop work and plenty of patience. He prefers his images to be in black and white so that there is not as much distraction from the main focus. If you look closely there are many different variations of blacks and whites. Not all of Machaloski’s images are crystal clear, some are blurry, showing motion of the animals. He views this series as “a future without human beings.”
