The world photographs of Izabella Tabachi and Philipp Herbind contributed their creative visions of landscape photography and emphasized the deep connection between photography and emotions, as well as natural elements. Tabachi focused on expressing feelings through nature, while Herbind presented a unique approach to capturing the natural elements of our planet in an unconventional style.
This presentation took place within the frames of the international photo festival ExpoGra 2025, organized by the Information Bureau of the Government of Sharjah in the Jada region. The festival runs until February 26, showcasing the best world photos for demonstrating their experience and visions in the field of photography.
Izabella Tabachi noted that photography is not just a documentation of scenes, but a powerful tool for expressing feelings and conveying emotions. She emphasized that light and weather are the main elements of forming impressions from images, and showcased her works, made in various natural environments such as volcanoes, lakes, and flower fields. Each scene carries emotional significance, changing from person to person.
Tabachi also stressed the importance of using drone technology to capture unique natural forms from unusual angles, allowing the photograph to transform the scene in a creative style. She noted that the secret to a successful shot lies in patience and the ability to wait for the ideal moment when light merges with nature, creating a visual image full of emotion and feeling.
Philipp Herbind shared about his photo project, focused on documenting five natural elements: earth, water, air, fire, and sky, explaining that each requires special photographic techniques and suitable natural conditions, making photography a contemporary experience. He showed his shots, taken in various locations around the world, reflecting the pure beauty of natural landscapes such as mountains, deserts, oceans, and volcanoes.
Herbind believes that photography is a way to tell stories through light and composition. He utilized advanced technologies to achieve clarity and precision in his images, such as extended exposure for capturing the smallest details of the night sky and digital layering of elements to create a single image reflecting the scene in the best light. Each of his images carries a unique philosophy, through which he strives to showcase the greatness of nature and create a visual and emotional connection between the viewer and the environment captured in the photo.
