Surreal? Yes. Scary? Definitely but it makes you want to see more. It’s actually only a 1/3rd of the original photograph by married couple Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. The photograph above definitely tripped me up, actually looks like a dead body and it’s so well edited. The couple’s two new photography projects entitled Counterpoint and Gray Dawn take a look at the everyday man and the unfortunate outcome of a mistreated environment. Their surreal works try to gain our attention to the relationship between man and nature, each and every photograph is signified by the colouring of the photographs and the character’s attire. The composition in each photograph is perfect, starts off faded and colour is introduced to represent a more current period. More on the reverse.

The whole series draws a discussion towards human environmental impact, you can perceive whatever you chose from it; hope, doom, man, nature, futility, perseverance, destruction, creation, steward, slave, perspective and scale. Plenty of fuel for discussion.
