As a media arts teacher, I am always on the lookout for interesting, immersive, and inspirational projects for my students. While perusing my social media feed one day, I came across the work of Finnish photographer Christoffer Relander. His series We Are Nature caught my attention immediately. The dazzling display of multiple exposure photographs blurs the line between the natural world and the human form to create stunning images.

Excitement and Apprehension
I enjoy challenging my freshmen students both creatively and technically, and the thought of doing our own take on Relander’s work excited me. I was sure it would excite my students as well. I usually finish our curriculum with a multilayer project using layer masks and other effects. I immediately knew this would fit the bill nicely.

When these artworks were projected on large screens and in vibrant color, the entire school took notice, and everyone was truly impressed.
