I've been photographing trees since I got my first camera.

I was always drawn to their aesthetics, their textures, their symbolism, their silhouettes, their presence in the natural world, and their formal variations. The photographic possibilities were, for me, limitless. And that's what attracted me to them as well.

A Tree Homage is a tribute to a natural element that has been with me since the beginning. To a living being I've portrayed time and again in a thousand possible ways. To a central figure in my work that has only given me satisfaction. Photographing its figure was always a challenge and a stimulus.

This series isn't intended to tell a story, although trees are part of my story as a photographer. It's a simple work done in a simple way: a medium format camera and a roll of film. No artificial lighting, no tripod, no filters. A tree and me, face to face.

This tribute is a way of being grateful.
