Natalie Finney, Back in the High Country (BLACK & WHITE 2021)

I set out to make these environmental portraits on a recent summer camping trip in the Alpine National Park, a place we often visit and we hold dear to our hearts. The series documents children reconnecting in nature, an activity that was inconceivable during the previous year due to strict lockdown measures. The environment that surrounds them, while vast and grand, does not overshadow them, but instead, magnifies their presence.
