Tomasz Kaluzny has done an amazing job [photographing these lonely and isolated pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1). There is something creepy in the way that the images look so desolate and silent. They almost make you feel as though you shouldn't be looking at them.

These Tomasz Kaluzny works are featured both in [color and black and white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). Most of the images feature trees, and all of them look uncomfortably still. Many of the trees are barren, with their [branches casting ominous shadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterhouseoyama).
