TITLE: Yggdrasil

Hiking in the lush landscape of Maui i found this gem of a tree and I knew exactly what i wanted out of this photo. I wanted to show the power of mother earth, and the tree of life Yggdrasil immediately came to mind as soon as i saw the photo.

AUTHOR: Brannden Ard (United States)

My name is Brannden Ard. I am a born and raised blues and cardinals fan. I got my start photographing anything and everything in high school. A few years later I moved into the video space, doing recaps for large live events. As my eye developed more and more I started doing photography as a hobby and it naturally led into doing photos for live events. I started pursuing photography more and more I had a passion for monochrome photos. My style is to capture nature and real life moments and emphasize the natural elements to the photos. I love shooting emotional portraits and epic landscapes. I use color and black and white photography, depending on what the feeling of the photos are and just try to create magic out of ordinary moments.
