The photographs in Yoshinori Mizutani’s photobook “HDR Nature” seem like abstract paintings on first sight. Yet the images were created with a camera, albeit using post-processing software. Striving to create a new take on nature photography, Mizutani combined three staggered exposures into single images; as a result of the image algorithms, familiar natural sights change shape, switch colors, take on completely alien patterns, and turn into something we have never seen before.
