Mark Leonhard: A Few Feet Away

Mark Leonhard is well known especially for his photographic portrait studies; this time, however, he takes the public by surprise with images of nature. His photographs of trees and bushes with dense foliage or the intricate network of twigs and branches offer nothing for the viewer’s eyes to fixate on. And this is precisely what is so special about the works of Mark Leonhard: he reduces the camera’s depth of field to such an extent that foreground and background seem to merge, forced into one single level of perception. The result is images of nature without space or depth.
