Fleeting Portraits Of The Body In Nature By Frédéric Fontenoy

“[I was] trying to create a pre-human form in landscape without any trace of humanity…”Using a panoramic camera, Fontenoy created images that depict distorted nude bodies in the nature, inspired by the works of French photographer Hans Bellmer. To this day, the photographer specializes in the portrayal of the human body.
