Man and nature photo essay

Human beings are the creations of nature. They drew everything needed for their very survival from nature. The air they breathe, the water they drink, the food they eat and thousands of articles they use daily-all come from nature. Yet, strangely enough, man keeps a hostile attitude towards nature.

When man and nature meets, the question is what kind of relationship do they have. The relationship between human and nature can be described in different ways; it can be beautiful, cruel or at times puzzling. Human responds to nature in different ways.

Foglia explores this tension in his stunning new book Human Nature. It features nearly 60 photographs that illustrate the varying ways nature impacts humans and humans impact nature—for better or worse. "It focuses on our relationship with nature, how we need wild places even if they have been shaped by us," Foglia says.

Human constantly developed alternative ways of coping with nature. Humans are forced to contend with the changing patterns of weather, and other natural processes affected human until they found out ways of dealing with it using advanced technology.
