Isolation Photography

The Haunting Photos of Stephan Opitz

German photographer Stephan Opitz has a knack for capturing isolated moments on his camera. These lonely moments are enhanced with lack of color, which can cause you feel slightly sad when viewing them.

The images are haunting, yet beautiful. Whether it’s a flock of birds against the backdrop of isolated towers or a peculiar looking tree in the foreground, the photos are absolutely stunning. Every image almost begs for your company just by observing them, so check out the gallery above.
