“Strange Nature” by Photographer Delaney Allen

A selection of images from American photographer Delaney Allen (previously featured here). Allen continues his exploration of the American West with his series “Strange Nature.” Highlighting the unique and mystical through a dark colour palette as well as black and white imagery, the familiar becomes strange and distorted:

“Similar to the approach in the previous series Red Orange, I have been approaching the work with the idea of the artist hand in creating a unique approach to photographing nature. This allows for an otherworldly feel both by the subjects I’m photographing and by the means in which I capture them. I’m aiming for simple beauty and confusion.”

The project is available in book form through UK-based publisher Jane & Jeremy.
