Chrystel Lebas- Hidden nature

A fascination with darkness and the unseen haunts the work of London-based French photographer Chrystel Lebas . Using a panoramic camera with long exposure times ranging from two to six hours, Lebas creates sweeping, mesmerising landscapes, which explore photography’s relationship with time and movement. Her work, hidden nature focuses highly on colour and light to create interesting atmos. The images all follow the same palete of colours which is minimal and a cold bluey temperature. This affects the images in a way to create more haunting images. They seem to linger in the darkness and shadows, and even in the light, the images appear not to be in real light, only lighter. Some of the images look more dark then light and looks like the photographer hasnt paid much attention, but infact that is the effect that was aimed for.
