I Capture The Devastation Of Finland’s Biggest Wildfire Of The Decade (5 Pics)
Over 250 hectares of forest was lost to a major fire in a small village of Muhos, Northern Ostrobothnia Finland. It took over a week for firefighters to put out the blaze from the rough and dry conditions.
After the fire was extinguished, I headed to the area with two models to capture the art of destruction from the aftermath.
This was a sad thing to happen, you can see devastation everywhere you look. Lots of animals and birds were also lost to the wildfires. But as a photographer, I try to see the beauty in things and I came here with models as soon as it was possible.

Is it just me or is the focus not necessarily on the woods? It's probably just me. lol
Definitely a different point of view of the situation. I imagine you tried to bring beauty to the devastation, as in seeing light in the midst of darkness.
I don't agree with commenters that poo poo this project. The women are beautiful, no? And she was trying to make a point by photographing beauty and devastation together. BUT- for me it misses the mark. Because to me the background looks like just a background. However, I am not acquainted with this area or this tragic fire. If I recognized those woods because they were a part of my neighborhood, or if the tragedy had taken my loved ones or property, I'd see the setting completely differently.
