I too love photographing through some kind of veil. Distortion is probably the closest word. It leaves little after-effects, shifts reality just enough, and introduces a powerful oddness that can speak of countless psychological states. Great work.

Thanks for the comment. That's what I like as well. And then, there is appearance / disaappearance going on, and foggy atmosphere which I find very interesting.

I find your photographs of greenhouses very similar to how we see people from the outside. There is a semi-permeable membrane between even the closest people's inner world and us. We can see "impressions" of that inner life of a person from the outside to a degree, but it will never give us a full picture of what the actual shape, color or light might be on the inside of it.

Your works puts me into this pleasant melancholic state of reflection, it's soothing, but it very light hearted at the same time. Thank you for sharing the series!

Thank you so much. I really love your interpretation. I hadn't consciously thought about it that way, but that's exactly what I enjoy about photography - seeing people discover meanings I hadn't anticipated. I'm very glad the series resonated with you.

I just love that series so much, Davor! I can’t wait to see what late summer and fall has to offer. The chamomile is so wonderful.

Many thanks, Susanne. I am anticipating the reast of the season as wellπŸ€—

This is such a beautiful collection, Davor.. I especially love the water droplets that are pushing against the surface. These look like paintings... so much texture and depth. I love how much of what you are photographing is obscured, and just a few essential things are shining through. I will never see a greenhouse the same way again!

I think that’s what art does - it helps us see the world differently. It’s the same when I look at your snails, mushrooms, and other delicate little wonders.πŸ€—

I love these. At first I didn’t know what I was looking at but 5 seconds later I knew. I grew up in green house country and my parents often used plastic sheeting as weather protection in their garden. β€œ he’s shooting through the glass or plastic”!!!

Genius! I can’t wait to try it. Never would have thought of it.
