# Blue Lagoon Photography Jeff Bark Photographs Wonderful Weirdness By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-03-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeff-bark References: [we-find-wildness](http://www.we-find-wildness.com/2010/03/jeff-bark/) & [jeffbark](http://jeffbark.com/) American artist Jeff Bark creates series of wonderful photographs that all tell captivating stories. His elaborate photographs examine the relationship between painting, photography and films. Many of his photos have this lush and luxuriant feel to them, especially his 'Woodpecker' series. That particular photo collection appears to be inspired by the darker version of the '[Blue Lagoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-collection-1)' film as well as [classic paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition). Every photo is a strong image on its own, yet looking through them all, I think there is a larger story to be discovered.
