Serenity and Serenity and PhotographyPhotography

Photography, especially nature photography, often is used as a medium for exploring emotions. Nature represents beauty, expansiveness, and unpredictability. This pairs well with photography. In this presentation, we ask you to look at serenity in relationship to photography. What makes a piece seem serene? Why do we look at a photo of a inhospitable winter and feel content? As you browse through this collection of photos, think to yourself what they all have in common.

What emotions do you feel and why?
