This was a beautiful and quintessential minimal scene of an old Finnish barn in winter. The snow field made a wonderful foreground, and the barn was nicely separated from the background forest due to the incoming blizzard.

• Biography
  Photography has always been a passion from a young age, where it was a great way of saving memories, and a camera was taken everywhere. I find the whole photography process very therapeutic; it involves travel and exercise which helps with mindfulness and well-being. It takes me to some places at first light when the landscapes can be at their best. I feel I have developed an evolving photographic style by exploring more intimate and minimal landscapes, and endeavour to share my vision of some of the earth’s natural untamed beauty.
