Patrick James Michel: Five

By Patrick James Michel

Five is a book about the ways the five elements are worshipped around the world, dramatically and mystically captured through the camera lens of Patrick James Michel. The photographer takes the viewer on an initiation trip across the globe, exploring Samburu (Earth) near Lake Turkana in Africa; the Ganges (Water) in India; the Touareg (Fire) in northern Africa; and the Native American shamans (Air) of North America.The animals, trees, clouds, waves, sands and human beings photographed by Michel resonate with life, each print filled with emotion, each picture offering an intimate involvement in the raison d'etre of the universe.
