"Emma Livingston's studies of the natural world play with scale, distances and context. In her photos of the moonscape desert of Northwest Argentina, boulders look like pebbles. Trees burst through the sidewalks of Buenos Aires.
What drives her is her desire to photograph nature in its varied forms, "a need to record something that is so fragile and ever changing," she says. "Some of the trees I photographed have since been chopped, run into or left to die."-PDN

A quote I read from Emma Livingston explained that she shoots pictures of leaves, branches and flowers so close up that they became abstracted, they looked like imaginary landscapes. This gave me an idea to experiment with shooting extreme close ups to come up with a base for my images, it make look a little to abstract for my series but its worth a try. Hmm..
