A dark fairy tale against the background of the cold landscapes of Iceland

Photographer Corey Zuccarelli (Kory Zuccarelli), better known by the online nickname Zuke, got cancer. Fortunately, he was able to recover from a fatal illness, but this experience changed his outlook on things forever. The realization that earthly life is far from infinite pushed Cory into the habit of not putting his ideas on hold. And he started working hard on his creative projects.

One of these ideas, embodied in reality, was the project "Understanding Man", which collected surreal shots similar to illustrations to dark fairy tales. To create it, an American photographer went to distant Iceland. It was here, among the majestic and cold landscapes, that Corey created his deep history of man and his unity with nature.

"I've always been told that in everything you do, the first step is always the most difficult. And all because most people are usually more or less afraid of the unknown," the photographer says in his interview about this photo series.

"Fear can easily become dangerous. I have seen examples of what he can do to a person, pinning him with his death grip, cutting off all paths to new achievements. How sad it is to watch how fear suffocates people."

"Each of us has a unique situation, and there is no universal instruction on how to go through certain difficulties, how to behave. That is why it is so incredibly important to fulfill your plans with passion and determination, to go to your goal, no matter what."
