'We Are Nature' by Christoffer Relander is a beautiful series of monochromatic hand portraits that use triple exposure. Relander created this new series of triple exposures because his last series called, 'Multiple Exposure Portraits' was extremely popular.
Both albums are similar in that they combine nature scenes with the outline of facial portraits in black and white. This type of photography combines multiple pictures into one, and all of the pictures are done "in camera" using his Nikon D700 camera. To create the exposure pictures they were "contrast adjusted, black and white toned and more or less dodged and burned."
These stunning photos include portraits of people's hands, an elderly man, young girls and a young male in his twenties.
