Myoung Ho Lee





In his Tree series, South Korean photographer Myoung Ho Lee uses oversized white backdrops to isolate his subject from its surroundings, causing the viewer to focus on a specific tree rather than allowing the eye to range around as it would with a traditional photo of nature. From lens culture (which has an interesting essay on this series) via booooooom.

I love these photos. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of them. They remind me of Magritte a little.
