Photographer Cody Cobb's ongoing photo series takes viewers through environments that feel like something out of science fiction.
, Cobb morphs the American West into a sci-fi dreamscape, by using a trick of the light —UV light to be exact—to create alien-like terrains and micro lifeforms. From focusing on desert flora, ravines, and jagged peaks, Cobb masterfully projects UV light to reveal an invisible spectrum of colors and bacteria that is not only luminescent but otherworldly. The effect is striking and pays a brilliant homage to Sci-Fi culture.
The ghostly and eerie effect mystifies and intrigues him, while simultaneously encouraging his nocturnal practice of traveling to and discovering terrains that could be reimagined with UV light. Becoming a nocturnal animal can take its toll, and Cobb continues to navigate the physical and even spiritual aspects of his presence in the wilderness.
“I’ve always struggled to describe my relationship with the wilderness,” he continues. “My presence in these places often feels like a disturbance, to be honest. Despite years of spending as much time as possible outside, I’ve never felt entirely comfortable out there .”
