IN THE FIELD
These 3 trees are a unique cluster growing closely together, high in the mountains in north-eastern Taiwan. Taiwania (Taiwania cryptomerioides) is native to Taiwan, Myanmar, western China and Vietnam. It grows high in the mountains and can reach impressive heights of over 72.9 m tall. This 72.9m specimen was discovered and measures in late September 2019!
With the help of many local climbers, scientists, photographers and filmmakers, The Tree Projects team traveled deep into the mountains of Taiwan. Our aim was to capture the portrait of the unique Three Sisters. With the help of Taiwan’s professional rescue team we quickly installed our camera rigging system into the trees and waited for the right conditions to photograph the tree. It can rain a lot in the mountains of Taiwan, but eventually a wonderful mist rolled in. We were able to capture a perfect image of this tree with a beautiful mist behind it.
Our Taiwan Project was a huge success, selling over 10,000 posters. We were able to contribute a significant amount of funds to a local environmental group by donating half of our profits to the charity.
Our portrait has been exhibited in: National Taiwan Science Education Center, Taipei botanic garden, National geographical magazine Taiwan & Hong Kong (cover story), National Chung Hsing University anniversary, a coming childrens book, Taiwan Public TV and countless TV news articles. We also places 7th in the annual Taiwan National Design Awards 2017 and a documentary that was produced about the She-Pa national park won a Taiwan Emmy for best documentary.

“The beauty of your Tree Portraits is that the giants will continue to grow and it feels like my print will grow with it. Thank you so much, I love it.”
