"Sentinels of the Arctic II"

Photographer Niccolo Bonfadini has captured ghostly images of trees buried under a foot of snow in the Arctic Circle. Snow and frost become so thick the entire landscape is transformed into an otherworldly planet. These shapes seem to become animated characters.

He lives in Monza, in the northern part of Italy and studies Environmental Engineering in Poltecnico di Milano. Recently he started collaborating with a group of talented photographer for the “Wildvisions Nature Photography” Project. In the website you will find great nature photographs from all over the world and various articles about photography techniques, travels and post processing.

Being out in the wilderness witnessing a sunrise or a starry sky fulfills him more than anything else. Photography motivates him to get out into Nature more often, experiencing conditions and places that he wouldn’t probabily have witnessed otherwise. Altough he loves photography, his biggest passion is traveling, giving him a sense of freedom and indipendence that he is consantly looking for.
