Earth Patterns

  • Photographer
    Timo Lieber, United Kingdom

The photographs are part of an aerial image series exploring rural
landscapes in Northern Spain. The images, taken during late
evening hours from a small Cessna aircraft, are of traditional
dryland farming carried out over many generations in this part of
the country. Farmers are pushing the boundaries of growing crops
in the most challenging conditions. The orange evening light,
reflecting against the man-made fields in the mountains,
accentuates the abstract nature of the landscape.

Timo Lieber is a London-based photographer, best known for his distinctive take on our world from above. He gets inspired by the environment and the interplay of elements that form some of nature's most incredible shapes and patterns.

While many of Timo's earlier works show the beauty of vast, untouched landscapes, his current work explores the human interaction with nature and the complexity of its impact. Through his photographs, Timo attempts to look beyond the obvious and invites the viewer to embark on a visual journey together.

Timo's photographs have been published by The Guardian, The Washington Post, CNN, BBC, NASA and New Scientist, among many others. Timo is the 2013 winner of the International Pano Awards (Australia) and has received numerous further awards, including PDN Photo Annual (US), Int. Photography Awards (US), National Geographic (US), PX3 Prix de la Photographie (France), Sony World Photography Awards (UK) and Global Arctic Awards (Russia). His latest solo show, THAW, was on display at Bonhams, London, in early 2017.
