What is a Concentration? (Arno Rafael Minkkinen)

Arno Rafael Minkkinen - http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/arno-rafael-minkkinen-photography 

This Finnish photographer uses his own body to create surrealist images with pure landscapes.  He poses his hands, legs, arms and feet in ways that go with the landscape in many cases to highlight it. 

The artist uses the common thread of his body in combination with landscapes to create visual coherence.

This artist uses a lot of space, texture, and line in his work as well as balance.  In many of his images he will place his hand at the top of the frame and a foot or another hand at the bottom [balance].
