UNIQUE GALLERY PRINTS FOR YOUR WALLS
Bare Landscapes is a collection of Fine Art Photography of female nudes in the contrast of nature. Many of the images are from Iceland and other unique locations. Iceland offers such a unique variety of lava rocks, waterfalls and glaciers where the female nudes are exposed raw, unadorned and blooming. Against volcanic rock, sequestered in craters of ice or simmering in hot springs, these images have been chiseled out of time, beautiful and natural.
Landscapes images are from various locations, many from Iceland, but all share the unique vision and style of the artists, whether it is a waterfall in Iceland or arid tree in the desert of California.
Still Lifes images range from beautiful flower images to objects still lifes setups.
TESTIMONIALS
Markusson offers a breathtaking series of figure studies. The models share a look: young, female, often blonde, generally in natural, comfortable poses. Drama comes from the contrast of model and setting - her smooth, human curves against some of the most imposing, monumental, and forbidding landscapes Earth has to offer. Rocky settings dominate - crags and scree, natural bridges and caves, ancient lava flows and even an ice cavern. Most of the photos are nominally black and white, but often toned toward cooler or warmer spectra. The ones in full color, though, add a new dimension of contract. Markusson's land- and sky-scapes tend toward monochrome in themselves, so the warm tones of the model's hair and skin stand out even more. A few samples, the cover photo among them, seem to have color manipulations that enhance the geology/biology divide, but those seem generally well done.
This might not be for the figure photo purist - human substance forms only part of these images, and perhaps not the most memorable part. It does, however bring to life the fragility of flesh and beauty in a world shaped by inanimate violence, the traces of which can still be seen. A beautiful collection.

Each image is inspired by the brilliant vision of Mr. Markusson. Masterfully shot Mr. Markusson has a talent for capturing the raw beauty of his native land and at the same time bringing an otherworldly vision to the human form giving it an almost magical realism. When I look at these photos it makes me believe in the "fairy forests" of Iceland!

Such a beautiful and elegant portrait of the female body...The landscapes are incredible, and the combination of both could not be more powerful.
