Jenny van Son - @jennyvanson

Jenny van Son is a photographer based in Australia who focuses on environmental and outdoor photography. Her Instagram feed has a muted color tone that we love. It creates a minimalistic feel to her images and allows the viewer to sit with the image and take in emotions. We love these dual images that tell a story of the Gollinger Wasserfall. Pairing a wide landscape with a detail shot is a fun way to express a story through imagery.
