Symbiosis with Nature: The Art of Psychedelic Voyager

As an artist, finding harmony and balance between human creativity and the natural world is essential to my work. This delicate dance of symbiosis is at the heart of my latest project, which combines elements of nature with the human form. In this blog post, I want to share my journey of creating “Ethereal Being” in the enchanting Hollingbury Woods, Brighton.

Rediscovering Nature’s Canvas

Recently, while wandering through the mystical trails of Hollingbury Woods, I stumbled upon a low to the ground tree snag or maybe its a vine. This natural wonder seemed to call out to me, offering a perfect focal point for my upcoming photoshoot. Its gnarled branches evoked a sense of ancient wisdom, and I envisioned using this snag to create ethereal horns on my model—a symbolic merger of human and nature.

With this vision in mind, I planned a photoshoot for this Sunday. Precision is crucial, as I aim to mirror the model’s face in the image to align perfectly with the tree snag. This alignment is essential to bring my artistic concept to life.

Experimentation and Preparation

Last weekend, I took a model to the location for a series of test shots. This was an opportunity to experiment with angles, lighting, and composition. The test images served as a canvas in themselves, allowing me to play around with the final results in Photoshop.

The outcome (image at the top of this post) was interesting and very useful. The tree snag transformed into a  natural woody set of  horns, blending with the human form. This fusion not only captured the essence of my Psychedelic Voyager Art concept but also highlighted the innate connection between humans and nature.

As I prepared for the main shoot, I also created a short video to document the process and the enchanting setting. You can watch the video here: Video link

The Journey Continues

As I prepare for the upcoming photoshoot, I am filled with anticipation. The tree snag and other areas in Hollingbury Woods are more than just a natural feature; they will be collaborators in my artistic journey. Through this project, I hope to inspire others to see the world around them with fresh eyes and to appreciate the intricate relationship between humans and nature which seems to be more important than ever.

Stay tuned for the final images and more updates on my Psychedelic Voyager Art journey. Thank you for being part of this creative exploration.
