Nature Photography and Art by Tad Coffin
We were all derived from and are a part of nature. Our modern society often isolates us from nature, yet our souls will always yearn for its embrace. Being in nature revitalizes us, calms us, and clears our thoughts. Observing nature can be a meditation all its own.
With my nature photography, I strive to frame nature in unique ways that bring new perspectives to the mysteries and intricacies of the world around us. It is all too easy to forget that the walls, and screens, and freeways, and cars around us are not how humans evolved into this world. It is important to be reminded of our roots and where we came from, and to be reminded that modern society surrounds us in an artificial environment. Surely, not all of our society is to be to be discarded, yet, without a constant reaching back to nature, I feel we would be missing out on one of the more profound experiences of life.
I hope that my nature photography and art will help bridge the gap between complete immersion in modern society and our souls’ yearning for nature. My works are available on paper, framed, on canvas or metal. Every work in my gallery is backed by a money-back guarantee. If you don’t like it, just send it back for a refund.
