These are some of the photographs of Richard Mosse, a
photographer who utilizes the now discontinued Kodak Areocrome film to create
stunning surrealistic photographs of the jungles of Congo. Areocrome, which was
developed by Kodak for use in Arial forest observation to give more contrast to
plants versus the ground, also creates a fascinating effect by isolating and bringing
to our attention the greens, rendered as a pinkish red, that emphasizes how
closely these people’s lives are connected to the forest.
