'Tree Families' is a way of providing life and vibrance to what would seem like dead things. It's taking something that others would disregard and making it beautiful. These iconic trees should give off a sense of dread or even death, but instead they burst with life.

Metamorphosis of Light
Adam took over 100 pictures of this tree all on the same day. The reason the background varies as much as it does, is the time of day that they were taken. Morning, noon and evening. The sunlight shines down and reflects off the enormous sand dune behind it, causing it to give off these beautiful variations in color. While the three photographs make a beautiful set, each individual piece is strong enough to be hung on it's own, being a good counter point to whatever decor style you choose to hang it in.

The Ballerina
What Adam has done with this shot is take something irreparably dead, such as the trees found in Sossuvlei, and make it alive with movement. The sun rising behind frames it in a light that it almost difficult to look into. It looks almost as if the tree is a dancer and Adam has caught it mid leap as it flows from one movement into the next. Quite sophisticated in look, 'The Ballerina' hangs well in a multitude of decor styles.

Cherished Desert Rain
The dead trees of Sossusvlei, Namibia are reminiscent of skeletal fingers clawing at the rain filled sky, desperate for the nourishment the water provides. However, the sand dune rising in the back, providing the orange tones that permeate the image, is a reminder of the vastness of the dry Namibian deserts. The singular tones allow for this print to be hung in a wide range of decor styles that favour subdued tones.
