For almost fifty years trees have been a defining element in the work of one of the major landscape makers of our time, known for the virtuosity of his technique and among the few to shoot exclusively on film.

He celebrates these great lords of nature in pictures that are painterly, dreamlike, graphic and poetic, bringing out the fundamental bond between earth and sky, air and light, silence and reflection. A tireless traveller, he has crossed the world — from France to New Zealand, from the United States to Japan — to fix the beauty of trees and forests, strictly in black and white.
