“Natural Tendencies” by Emily Neville Fisher

In this month’s "Photographers to Watch" spotlight, we're thrilled to feature the work of photographer Emily Neville Fisher. Fisher's photography stands out for its ability to encapsulate the intricate relationship between humans and the natural world in her ongoing series, "Natural Tendencies." Through a masterful combination of striking portraits and pared-down landscapes, Fisher invites viewers into a world where time seems to stand still.

Her deliberate approach focuses on, as she states, “the stripping down and essentializing of form, to highlight the important connection between solitary figures and their expansive environments.” With each photograph, Fisher invites us to delve deeper into the complexities of our relationship with the natural world. She explains, “I am acutely aware of the precarious nature of our shifting environment, of the fragility of life and the ephemerality of childhood; and I use my photographs to explore and express this. My roles as mother, wife, artist and environmentalist inform my work. Through story-telling in "Natural Tendencies," I hope to prompt reflection on our collective responsibility to protect and preserve the delicate balance between humanity and nature.”
