Enter the Forest | Photo Book
The photo book Enter the Forest shows the German forest from its calm and unobtrusive side. Diverse forest landscapes, largely left to itself, unfolding their unique charm through careful observation. Often only transient moments of an ever-changing flora, captured on analog film.
A minimalistic book design gives each photo enough space to breathe. The entire project (photos, scans, printing, binding, etc.) emphasizes the best possible quality and sustainability.
All photographs for this project were taken primarily in northern and southern German forests between 2014 and 2020.
The photo book project was partially funded through a kickstarter crowdfuning campaign.

Personally, I prefer to wear t-shirts with a minimal design and no text. So it was a perfect fit to use my hand painted book logo design for one. The organic cotton from the shirts really feels smooth and robust and has a normal fit.
T-Shirt Details:
- Unisex
- 100% Organic Cotton (GOTS)
- multiple colors to choose from
- Sizes from XS to 3XL
- Organic, Ethical, Climate footprint reduced, shirts from ContinentalClothing (PositiveEarth Collection)
- Silkscreen hand printed in Germany by Kolt, a little label in Berlin with a great philosophy for sustainability.
The photos will be printed on high quality photo paper. This “Fine Art Print” has a satin look and feel like a traditional photo print. It also allows a high color reproduction and shows fine details to let the photo look alive. Once you selected a print for your order, you’ll get a link to a preview gallery where you can choose your favorite photos from the book.
I recommend framing the photo prints with a natural white passepartout in a plain frame, as shown in the example above. This will make the print stand out even more in your living room or office. However, I will also be happy to help you find a suitable frame for your selected photos. (Frame and passepartout are not included).
Note: You can also add more prints without additional shipping costs.
