Photo series ‘The Wind’ by Merlin Viir

Our surrounding is one of the most important thing to see and use, when we want to tell a story. It’s important to be aware where you stand and how can you use it to convey it to your images. When I walk around I always look around and try to imagine my next photoshoot. And when the day comes I know what I want to achieve and how to get the best results, I know what I need to take with me to make it pop.
