The [photographic works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) of Evan James Atwood, are gorgeously [surreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). Although there are a ton of artists out there that have embraced such creative portraitures of late, he focuses on [nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation) as well to really elevate his portfolio over many others. Whether it is the ghostly landscapes or his interaction with them, Evan James Atwood pays tribute to his surroundings in a reverent way.

Based in Nottingham, England, Evan James Atwood certainly has a lot of inspiration to pull from. In one image he is soaring over snow covered planes to capture a hot air balloon in flight. In another he is immersed in murky orange-colored waters and another still he is growing a tree out of his mouth. Imagination and creativity are not in short supply here.
