Berlin-based, self-taught photographer Matthias Heiderich creates ethereal landscapes, inspired by hazy and hidden rural areas. The sepia drenched dreamscapes are abstracted by inky shadows with only crisp hints of power lines and tree branches sometimes visible. In those moments, the photos could easily be contemporary drawings full of lights, darks, and textures. The works also feel like lost, turn of the century snapshots of forgotten places. Visit Heiderich’s eerie, countryside muse in our gallery below.
