Ashes and snow by Gregory Colbert - Art & Photography

Gregory Colbert uses photography to build both an idea and a feeling. 

His work, a vast collection of pictures and video called Ashes and Snow, offers imagery that is compelling for its artistry as well as its subjects.

By isolating two figures, animal and human, he forces the viewer to confront his ideas without any distractions. 

His photographs use simplicity and light to indicate peaceful well-being, and by using children as models he creates a common bond of innocence between them and the animals.
