birgit freybe bateman
In her photography Birgit Freybe Bateman tries to capture the infinite variety of shape, form, line, texture and pattern of both the man-made and natural world. Her aim is to search for the extreme contrasts that exist in many parts of the world, between well-worn ancient structures and the plastic, artificial objects of our contemporary society and to show the extraordinary in the ordinary. She has been published in Conde Nast Traveler, Outside Magazine, Northwest Travel, Geo Airone [Italy], National Geographic Adventure and Shambala Sun magazines, as well as in the books, End of the Earth: Voyages to Antarctica (National Geographic Society 2003) by Peter Matthiessen, Dangerous Beauty (Miramax) by Mark C.
