She uses the shrubs and rocks to represent the earth and it appears the photograph was taken over several hours as the stars have rotated in the sky. She also has personal skills in illumination and this has come into play in this image as the foreground subjects are well lit ( the shrubs and rock) to give the image some more depth.
Some extracts from: The Photo Book (Phaidon)
Again from the book: 'she remarks that creative energy is an elusive force which it is her privilege to 'serve and transform''
From this quote I read that Connor is a very thoughtful photographer who is at one with the environment, much like I consider myself to be, wish allows her to produce images which are simplistic and have a deeper meaning, which pairs the background star rotations to the complexity of the earth below.
It is clear after looking at several different photographers that they all tend to be very considerate of the landscape in which they shoot photographs and that even the most basic landscape features, can prouce an amazing photograph when used correctly at night.
