Behind the camera

Morning ether of Lapland

Andi Balogh is a Hungarian photographer based in Espoo, Finland, she moved to the land of thousand lakes in 2009. The nature and culture she met through northern metal music drove her to learn Finnish language and move to Finland. After a few years of living among northern landscapes, Andi started to take photos more seriously. Her main inspiration is the unique northern ambience and aesthetics.

Through photography she combines nature with the human figure, depicting the world of the inner scapes. In her representation, these scapes radiate beauty and mysticism, uplift, initiate, purify and heal, just as the sublime northern nature does. Personal experiences acquired during her journey and its insights are also reflected in the meaning of works.

As an enthusiastic hiker Andi creates her images on location alone during nature trips by using herself as characters of images. Instead of making self-portraits, her purpose is to visualize the impersonal human figure as part of the unity. Her aim is to convey the presence which flows through and the connection with nature, allegorically the connection to the inner depths beyond the phenomena.

Nature opens the gates to the worlds of the soul. My aim is to explore these inner realms and highlight the healing forces flowing from nature that many human souls need, especially today. To retreat into nature, explore the miracle, to be present, and to allow these inner spheres to open up and lead us into our true selves.
