Oliviers et Agaves, Infra-Rouge No. II

A striking infrared photograph by Maurice Tabard captures the luminous, otherworldly quality of olive trees and agave plants bathed in radiant light. The infrared technique transforms the natural landscape into a dreamlike scene, with foliage rendered in brilliant whites and silvery tones against a darkened sky. Tabard's masterful use of the medium highlights his Surrealist sensibilities, turning an ordinary Mediterranean landscape into a hauntingly beautiful and ethereal vision.

Medium
Gelatin silver print.
