Untitled--Forest Scene c. 1930 - 1940

August Sander made this photograph called ‘Untitled – Forest Scene,’ and honestly, it feels like wandering into a dream. It’s all greyscale, with a forest emerging from the mist. I bet Sander felt like he was entering another world when he took this. There's a carpet of leaves on the ground and you can almost smell the damp earth. It reminds me of old landscape paintings, but somehow it’s more real and more mysterious at the same time. Look at those branches reaching out like skeletal fingers, and the way the light filters through the trees, creating this ethereal, almost ghostly atmosphere. It’s like he’s captured a fleeting moment, a secret hidden deep within the woods. I guess this is what happens when photography gets painterly. It reminds you that all art forms are in conversation and that the possibilities are endless.
