‘Forests of Latvia’ – Newspaper

In October 2017, photographer Alan Gignoux explored the Gauja National Park in Latvia, and other areas of dense woodland, with the intention of documenting the destruction often caused by the logging industry, where little consideration is paid to regeneration.

This newspaper reflects what would be lost if large areas of timber are eventually consumed rather than documenting destruction left behind. This is not to say that those industrial landscapes do not exist, only that we chose to focus on what remains, with small fragments of industry creeping into the photographs alongside the endless trees protected by the National Park.
