Beautiful, enticing, captivating are words I would use to describe these images by Jorma Puranen. I can’t seem to stop looking at them.

Created from reflections of Arctic landscapes on bits of wood painted black these images bring to mind the relationship between photography and painting.

In Puranen’s other work Shadows this relationship between photography and painting is even more prominent. Puranen photographed reflections on painted portraits.
