30 Totally Zen Photographs by Akos Major

Akos Major captures images of landscapes, cityscapes and objects in a way that has the effect of making time stand still for its viewers. A graphic designer by trade, Major did not pick up a camera until inspiration came to him by way of another landscape photographer’s pictures, namely Michael Kenna’s. More often than not, the Hungarian photographer sways towards vast expanses of land and water without a soul in sight. There is something about the isolation of a lone object in the middle of calm waters and the aura emitted by the whiteness of the snow or the grayness of the weather that exudes peace and tranquility. We especially love the lone tree in the middle of a snowy desert that magically, if only momentarily, transports us to that magical time of the year.
