PhotographerHeiko Gerlicherhas always had a love for the forest.
In fact, it’s such an inspiration that it’s the landscape photographer’s main subject.
His latest seriesHoar Frostallows snow-covered trees to become shining stars, as their icy leaves create marvelous patterns.
A look at his portfolio is like stepping into a magical winter wonderland plucked from a fairy tale.
You never know exactly what to expect, he tells My Modern Met.
At first glance, it is not easy to spontaneously discover interesting motifs in the forest.
But once you get involved in the forest, a cornucopia of motifs spreads out in front of you.
In addition, everything in the forest is constantly changing.
The unique opportunities presented by the forest are part of what attracts Gerlicher.
In looking through the photographs, one realizes just what fertile ground the forest provides for the imagination.
Gerlicher hopes that his work will inspire others to appreciate the beauty that surrounds them.
I want to show the beauty and fragility of the trees and forests with my pictures.
