Simone Nieweg - The Woods, the Trees, the Light

For more than 30 years the Düsseldorf-based photographer Simone Nieweg (born 1962) has had a keen interest in nature and landscapes. For her new illustrated book The Forest, the Trees, the Light, which Schirmer/Mosel is publishing on the occasion of her exhibition at Schloss Benrath in Düsseldorf (starting February 14, 2016), Simone Nieweg roamed through forests in Europe and North America. Her journeys took her from the Lower Rhine to the Swabian Mountains, through northern Norway and the south of France, the Mühlviertel region in Austria, and California. Over the course of 25 years a series of enchanting color photographs emerged, of which 90 are featured for the first time together in a book.
