I found the interpretation of Claude Cahun’s work by Clare Rae incredibly interesting. The way she has captured the style and look of the photos makes it seem almost as though they were taken by the same person. There were obviously some differences in the models used, even some of the same locations were used. Both photographers focus of the surreal contrast, and also similarity, to nature and man.

The picture below was one of my favorites. Not only does it have a nice contrast between the blacks and whites, but it shows the connection between man(or in this case woman) and nature. The way that her arm reaches around the rock almost makes it seem like the rock is alive and the two are connected.

Another piece of her work that caught my eye was this photograph(above). While it shows the clear disconnect between humans and nature, the color of the dress and physical connection to the rock represents how we are still connected with nature and that it is an important part of what makes us human. The reflection off of the rocks and the dress also seem to represent this idea.
