More and more each year, science is proving that being in nature gives our brains a pretty powerful boost in areas like creativity and happiness and a decrease in stress and anxiety.
According to a Greater Good article by UC Berkley, “Scientists are beginning to find evidence that being in nature has a profound impact on our brains and our behavior, helping us to reduce anxiety, brooding, and stress, and increase our attention capacity, creativity, and our ability to connect with other people.”
Famous naturalist Henry David Thorough had an innate understanding of nature’s powerful influence on his well-being: “I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.”
Nature Wall Decor
While strapping on our boots and trekking into the wilderness is not a daily option for many of us, nature photography allows us to bring nature’s beauty into our homes. Landscape photos are perhaps the next best thing because they have the ability to transport our minds to a peaceful scene in nature.

Mountain Photography
Mountain photography is another category of nature photography that can be quite powerful. Majestic, grandiose mountains that have remained standing for centuries, silent and still, while society hustles and bustles around them can have an uncanny way of bringing some perspective to our lives. Mountain photography can make a big impact on a statement wall in the living room, bedroom or office.
The mountain prints below are offered on various media options including fine art paper, canvas, aluminum or acrylic.

Desert Photography
The last group of nature photography prints we will share is desert photography. The stillness that can only be found in the desert can have a profound calming effect. For that reason, desert prints are the perfect addition to any space where you would appreciate a sense of peace and calm such as the bedroom or living room. An office would also be a suitable place for desert photography - that calming effect can also produce mental clarity and help still a busy mind.
These desert prints are available on fine art paper, canvas, aluminum or acrylic.
