Night Shade |  is a collection of mysterious plant portraits, shot at dawn, dusk, or in the complete absence of natural light. 

“Lately I've been enchanted by the mysteries of nature at night - when the world is silent and strange, enveloped in darkness. The process of photographing nature this way creates a deliberate relationship towards the subject, since the limited lighting constrains the focus to a very small portion of the overall frame. In that sense it veers away from landscape photography and approaches the more intimate realms of portraiture or still life.” www.cargocollective.com/maelaohana
