@anya_anti: Forests are often called the lungs of the planet because they play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. They regulate the Earth's climate, support biodiversity, and provide essential resources and habitats for countless species, including humans. Rainforests in particular, like the Amazon, act as massive carbon sinks, helping to stabilize global temperatures and air quality. Yet despite their importance, forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Deforestation, driven by logging, agriculture, mining, and urban expansion, is stripping the Earth of its natural ability to breathe. Every year, millions of acres of forest vanish, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and accelerating climate change. As we lose these green lungs, we not only endanger wildlife and indigenous communities, but also threaten the planet’s ability to sustain life for future generations. I took this photo during my trip to Ukraine last year. I photographed it in the photo studio in Kyiv @roslynka_photostudio. This particular concept was one of the main reasons I chose to book the studio, it perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. To bring the idea to life, I collaborated with a VFX makeup artist @hecates_art who designed the lungs and veins using real moss and liquid silicone to sculpt and mold these textures. I used the studio real plants set up to create a rainforest environment. For the lighting, I put an LED behind the model to create a soft backlight that I later transformed into a glowing wildfire in Photoshop to symbolize the destruction of the forest.
