Martin Marfeldt: nature, wildlife and landscape photography from Estonia

Outside-the-box photography

Bogs at first light, the northern lights over the sea, a wreck sinking into the shore. I photograph Estonia from where people rarely stand : from above, at eye level with the wildlife, and inside the places people left behind.

Nature holds on Buildings let go

Viewpoint 04 · Side by side

Four pairs from the same Estonian winters and springs. On the left, what the cold and the years cannot stop. On the right, what they slowly take.

Frozen in time

The cold stops the waterfall mid-fall and the ship mid-journey. Only one of them moves again in spring.

On watch

The heron still watches the water, and the water still feeds it. Nobody climbs the tower to watch anything any more.

Letting the light in

Ferns open themselves to the sun. The empty room only lets it in because its walls are giving up.

Taking it back

The first flowers of the year push up at the foot of old stone. In the reeds, the wreck already belongs to them.
