Mats CARDUNER

Mats Carduner is a landscape photographer particularly drawn to the Arctic and boreal regions, conducting numerous photographic reportages in polar areas (fifteen in the past three years). His work focuses on raw simplicity, straightforward compositions, textures, and light emerging behind elements.

Engaged in environmental issues, his photographs also bear witness to the intensity and irreversibility of the Anthropocene’s devastating effects—the human presence in once-pristine nature.
