The photographs in the Akos Major 'Lumen' Series are chillingly pronounced. The Hungarian-born designer and amateur photographer captures the beauty in the monotone landscape of northern Europe. The wintery landscape may seem barren but there is more than meets the eye.
Though the photographs present minimal objects, the muted color reveals the elements hidden in the landscape. The contrast caused by the small details in the frames unexpectedly pops, making the series become increasingly interesting.
The cold climate becomes alluring in these vacant spaces, with each frame being filled with more textures and layers. The Akos Major 'Lumen' Series is an unanticipated breath of icy cold fresh air that has the ability to refreshingly fill the soul.
