A foreign photographer specializes in taking pictures of people and animals. Very sweet and natural. Who is this man?

Gregory Gregory Colbert, Canadian photographer. He belongs to the kind of artist that is rare now. He has not signed a contract with any gallery, nor has he held an exhibition of his works in the past ten years, nor has he given any interviews. He seems to be in an "underground" state, unnoticed, and only a few rich collectors are supporting him and providing him with financial support. What he cares about is the mysterious connection between man and animals. Since 1992, he has made 27 long-distance trips and reached every corner of the world. He even rented ocean-going ships for months on end. In a word, his simple photos are both expensive and troublesome. Now, 42-year-old colbert has finally made his achievements public. For him, these works not only record his own observations, but also reveal an eternal kingdom in which human beings live and communicate with various animals, such as elephants, whales, manatees, falcons, ibis and cranes. Ash and Snow is a documentary that records man and nature, and its beauty is shocking. Every picture can take a perfect photo, which is closely related to the shooting experience of ashes and snowflakes. Let me first introduce the predecessor of Ash and Snow: 1992. Gregory opened a small photography exhibition, and several collectors appreciated his talent and asked for more. Because only a few wealthy private collectors get a sneak peek, the average person's understanding of Gregory's works is very limited, which adds to his legend. Before that, Gregory had never publicly auctioned his works, but many people still came here, eager to bid more than 60 thousand dollars. These incomes provided financial security for his next adventure shooting. During filming, Gregory was often shocked by what he saw. For example, when we see an elephant with a child, you don't have to worry that the elephant will hurt the child. "Every year, hundreds of people in Sri Lanka are killed by elephants because they are too close to the elephant migration route. This conflict between adults and elephants has a history of nearly a hundred years. In Sri Lanka, there was only one incident in which a child died of an elephant. That was when he fell into the well while running. Elephants don't hurt children, and there is no conflict between them. " Perhaps this is the unspoken rule of biology, or perhaps this is the harmony that exists in nature. In his view, nature has a kind of reincarnation-like poetry, just like the poem recited by laurence fishburne, a famous American actor, in a documentary filmed during his exploration-feathers turn into fire, cremated into blood, blood turns into bones, ossified into pulp, pulp turns into dust, and dust turns into snow. Some people doubt the authenticity of Gregory's works, but once they know his extraordinary experience, this idea will disappear immediately. "You don't need to beautify nature. The world has existed for billions of years, and human beings are only newcomers. " Of course, in the course, there are also stories that Gregory will never forget. In the Pacific Ocean, he swam with his "mentor", a 55-ton sperm whale, completely getting rid of the shackles of oxygen tanks. When the life that has existed for 50 million years swims towards him, diving is no longer important, and there are only strange dance steps between heaven and earth. When the whale accidentally swallowed him, Gregory was not afraid, because he knew it was a gift to give his life for the cause he loved. Gregory's ideal is to bring ashes and white snow to the world. After the exhibition in new york Station, the mobile museum will be demolished and transported to Los Angeles, and then it will tour South America, Europe and Asia. At the age of 44, Gregory Cobb will pick up his camera and go on the road again. "The first work, I want to cooperate with 60 kinds of animals, so it took 13 years and took 29 kinds. I hope I can live a long life and shoot all 60 kinds in the next 15 years. " Snow and ash are the truest tribute to nature, inspiring people's hopes and being positive. The true meaning of art comes from the love of life. Perhaps it is because of that love that beauty will be preserved forever. Whether it is installation art, glass products, graffiti on the wall or nature photography, artists from different fields continue a feast of human art with their unique eyes and methods.
