For this series of photographs I decided to cultivate different species of mushrooms. I documented all the growth and as soon as they reached maturity and started releasing their spores I decided to start with the photos. The cultivated and photographed species were Pleurotus Citrinopileatus, Hericium Erinaceus and Pleurotus Djamor. The cultivation process lasted around 2 months. The species were not cultivated simultaneously due to their fragility.Colors were added digitally through Photoshop and Lightroom, thus giving a perspective of something new, something unknown.

My name is Luiz Fernando and i'm a brazilian photographer. I love photography since i was a teenager and digital art inspires me and helps me in dealing with my emotions and thoughts. My work is influenced by music and nature and since i am a country boy i've been in touch with the wild since i was a kid. I like to mix textures and colors to create something, i believe, unique. I expose my photos at instagram. Hope you enjoy my photos! Thank you!
