2026 Early Autumn and Mushrooms in The Netherlands

2026 Early Autumn and Mushrooms in The Netherlands follows the first subtle shift from summer into autumn across the Dutch landscape. The series moves between woodland, field edges, roadside details and small human traces, focusing on the ordinary signs of seasonal change: fading flowers, dry stems, berries, moss, fallen fruit, mushrooms and leaves beginning to lose their summer color.

Rather than presenting autumn as a dramatic event, the photographs treat it as a gradual transformation. Green still dominates, but it is interrupted by muted yellows, browns, reds and pale, weathered tones. Mushrooms emerge from grass and leaf litter, plants begin to collapse back into the landscape, and familiar rural structures appear alongside this slow natural decay.

The series is intentionally observational and intimate. Small subjects are given the same visual weight as larger scenes, turning overlooked details into markers of time. Grain, softened color and restrained contrast give the images the character of remembered photographs rather than precise documentation.

2026 Early Autumn and Mushrooms in The Netherlands is ultimately about a brief transitional period: the point at which summer is still visible, but autumn has already begun to take its place.
