Photographer David Benjamin Sherry strips away the colours of nature and adds in his own, but instead of creating artificiality, Sherry’s photographs force the viewer to pay attention to the aspects of the landscape that are usually glossed over. The monochromatic landscapes seem otherworldly and unfamiliar, but after a bit of a pause, the mind’s eye starts to fill in the colours that were meant to be. Sherry used a traditional, handmade, wooden camera to shoot these images, and then added in the stark hues in the darkroom while developing the film. Sherry’s work questions many things—the importance of colour in our lives, and the value of nature and mankind’s relation to it, among others—but perhaps it’s best to just enjoy this as art.
