If you've ever dreamed of living in a fairytale, then I highly suggest you visit Madeira at least once. From its rocky beaches, its green lush forests, and its steep volcanic cliffs falling into the wild ocean, there is a special place, high up in the mountains on a deserted plateau in the Northwest of the island. There you'll find a mystical woodland filled with trees that have stood there for centuries, braced against the elements, forming weird shapes that you can barely distinguish in the thick mist, which is almost always present.
I arrived at the end of the night when everything was still dark, and I was able to feel how wet the place was. The mist was very thick and even with my headlamp, it was almost impossible to see 3 meters in front of me. I wandered for a while in the dark, walking slowly, trying to spot some nice trees for later shots, when these four trees caught my attention. Next to so many lone trees, separated and lost in the mist, I was immediately amazed by the way these four were standing together. I can imagine, if they were able to talk, that there would be some amazing Tolkien-like stories they could tell us, after centuries of witnessing life passing in front of them.
CURATOR NOTE
Together for centuries. Standing together in a forest of individuals. I love the mist and something about the image makes me feel that the collective wisdom of these trees surpasses that of man’s.
THE ARTIST
Joffrey Briaud is a professional landscape photographer who grew up under the sun in the Southeast of France, somewhere between mountains and sea. In 2018, planning a trip to the arctic country of Norway, he made the decision to buy his first camera to capture the beauty of the Northern Lights. This is how a convenient purchase turned into a true passion, pushing him to dedicate all his savings from his hard work as a bartender to travel to some of the most incredible places of the world and capture their beauty. Because of the difficulty to find some free time away from his work to practice his passion, he decided in 2021 to stop his bartender career to focus 100% on photography and make it a full-time job. A self-taught artist, his unique style can be defined as complex, dreamy and colorful.
More than two dozen photographers, a dozen countries, an age range of nearly 40 years (possibly more, but some won’t tell), multiple languages, and varied styles. Our team consists of members from around the world. We include photographers from Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Northern Ireland, Russia, Spain, Turkey, and the United States.
What could possibly bring this diverse group together? There’s only one thing in the world strong enough to do that: a deep love for photography.
Our collective was formed on the intentional basis of being DIFFERENT - different artists with different backgrounds, different races, languages, ability/disability, ages, and genres.
When the theme was announced there was a collective sigh, literally heard round the world. In all honesty, the theme of TOGETHER presented a challenge to nearly every single person on the team. From landscape, travel, nature, astro, portrait, fine art, urbanscape, and conceptual photographers, we’ve all literally spent the past two years ALONE.
World conditions have left everyone in isolation. The thought of “TOGETHER” was at the same time refreshing and terrifying. A few members panicked, some laughed, some left, most cringed at the thought. But in the end, the theme of TOGETHER has brought us TOGETHER.
We’ve dug through our archives, shot new images, edited like crazy, and shared critiques. Then we went back and started all over again!
This collective is the labor of our love, created with laughter, fun, and friendship. With our members spread over at least a dozen time zones, meetings were sometimes varied, crazy, and broken into smaller parts depending on the parts of the world. When you think about that accomplishment alone, accomplished with a bunch of creatives no less, you realize the depth of the loyalty to the project, to the team, and to each other.
Long late nights filled with love, laughter, jokes, craziness, and support have been the backbone of this project since the beginning.
For members of the team who are just beginning their NFT journey, it is an honor to be included with seriously talented photographers, who have been secretly discovered to be just normal people. We are all photographers but we don’t act like competitors. The community and support have been the stuff of legends. We want everyone to make it. Together as a team, we have been able to celebrate victories, face challenges, share as we have won awards, been represented by galleries, sold limited edition fine art prints, and are helping ensure everyone on our team is kicking it in the NFT world.
Through it all there is one common theme: every single member shares the same passion for photography. When asked what the best part of our team is, one member replied, “Love, kindness, love, happiness, love!”
Or, as they say in Ireland, the craic!
