Powerful photography can change the way we see the world around us. With numerous beautiful Earth pictures flooding the internet every day, finding images that truly resonate with nature and highlight the power of the Earth are a rare and refreshing sight.
When we observe certain photographs, such as the ones taken by Stas Bartnikas, we can feel the energy and vibrance of nature flooding out of the image and entering the space we are in.
Energy Filled Images of Nature
The reason why Stas’s photography stands out and leaves a lasting impression with his audience is that his work draws out the energy of the earth and encapsulates it in a photograph. With a degree in journalism from Moscow State University, Stas has the expertise of using aerial photography to speak about the earth and its energies relying solely on images.
The images he captures are internationally acclaimed, because they are more than just a photograph of the outside world. They bring the viewer closer to nature by teleporting them to the scene of the photograph and filling them with the aura and energy that exists in that location—making them feel as though they’re experiencing the invigorating sight firsthand.
What Makes a Photograph Powerful?
The best nature photography is that which not only depicts the beauty of nature in all its glory—it moves your soul and touches your spirit with the wonder of Mother Nature. You feel as though you are surrounded by the scene you see in the image because the magnetic forces of the scenery are emanating from the image.
Stas’s photography has been published in various prestigious magazines across Russia and Europe, such as the Sunday Times Travel Magazine, GEO, and Vanity Fair. He has also had photographs featured in the National Geographic’s Photo of the Day several times, eventually leading him to becoming a contributor at @natgeoyourshot.
When you walk into a gallery such as the Avivson Gallery in London, which features Stas’s work, you’ll immediately feel a deep connection with nature—simply by being in the presence of his photography.
Through the use of aerial photography, Stas sends us a reminder of the grandness and vastness of nature, making us realize how immense and powerful the world is and feel the strength of the aura that every place on earth gives out.
With over 170 awards including the People’s Choice Award in the Natgeo Photo Travel Contest in 2019 and honorable mentions in the Sienna International Photo Awards to name a few, Stas has touched the lives of numerous collectors and audiences throughout the world.
Everyone who is a witness to Stas’s work can attest to the experience of experiencing both a visual and emotional connection to nature when admiring his work.
Parting Words
Nature is filled with energy that transforms that way we experience it. When captured with careful concentration and a unique perspective, images of nature can create the same transfer of energy within us that we would feel if we were observing the scene in person.
Every photograph has an aura of its own, and truly powerful images can reach out and touch you with that aura as well.
