Morten Hilmer
Nature Photographer

“Through my work, I’ve come to appreciate the profound impact nature has on us. I believe that our connection with the natural world goes beyond mere physical health—it nourishes our mind and spirit. When I’m out in the wild, every moment is an opportunity to marvel at the intricate patterns of a leaf, the flight of a bird, or the ripple of a stream. In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, it’s easy to become disconnected from nature. By immersing ourselves in it, we not only capture fleeting moments but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for this part of life. Through my lens, I strive to not only capture the breathtaking beauty and transformative power of the world but also inspire others to reconnect with nature and prioritize their well-being.

Just as health experts advocate holistic well-being, I believe that through nature’s lenses, we can create spaces that forge a curiosity and a different perspective on the world. It means a lot to me to be able to bring this to people who need it and hopefully make a difference. And I am happy I get to do so in this collective with other skilled artists in these interdisciplinary projects.”
