Make a Donation: Help Bring Trees to Life Through Art & Science

Trees are the foundation of our ecosystems, shaping landscapes, supporting wildlife, and connecting us to the past. Chlorophyll & Silver is a documentation project dedicated to celebrating Tennessee’s native trees through alternative photographic processes, merging fine art with scientific storytelling.

Why Trees Matter

From the rugged slopes of the Appalachians to the quiet corners of Tennessee’s forests, trees tell the story of resilience, adaptation, and interconnection. Each species plays a role in sustaining biodiversity, filtering air and water, and providing essential habitat for countless creatures.

The Power of Fine Art Photography

This project goes beyond documentation, it seeks to capture the soul of trees through alternative photography. Cyanotypes, chlorophyll prints, and silver-based processes transform each image into a visual narrative, revealing the intricate textures, shapes, and light patterns that make each tree unique. This fusion of art and ecology offers a new way to see and appreciate the natural world.
