Over and Above, San Francisco, CA, USA

Over and above, san francisco, ca, usa

Jets are amazing at transporting us from one place to another. We board, entering the cocoon. We disembark into a new environment. In the cocoon, we read, sleep, drink, eat, listen to music, and watch a video. I like to look outside. You will see things you never dreamed of. While it’s hard to get […]

Breath of Altitude, Mountain Corchia, Passo Croce, Stazzema, Italy

Breath of altitude, mountain corchia, passo croce, stazzema, italy

Today I chose Passo Croce. It’s not the ideal day: the forecast says increasing clouds, unstable light, and wind sweeping the ridges. But I’m not looking for perfect skies. I’ve learned that it’s often in uncertainty that something true reveals itself. I pack my backpack, set the destination, and leave. Over an hour of driving, […]

The Morning Canvas, Xilxes, Castellon, Valencia, Spain

The morning canvas, xilxes, castellon, valencia, spain

It was early autumn, 2024, and I found myself once again standing on the familiar, dark sand of one of my favourite stretches of the Mediterranean coast. I had arrived well before blue hour, the air still holding the faint chill of night, my boots crunching softly on the beach rocks and sand as I […]

Los Cuernos del Paine, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

Los cuernos del paine, torres del paine national park, chile

In April 2018, my wife and I embarked on a two-week, professionally led photo tour of Patagonia. The route started in south central Chile, passed into Argentina, and ended back in Chile at Torres del Paine National Park. The first two days looked good, but then it turned rainy. We lost several days of shooting […]

Monochrome Vision, Skogafoss, Iceland

Monochrome vision, skogafoss, iceland

Travelling around South and West Iceland in 2024, I wished to photograph this iconic Icelandic waterfall. Among the country’s most famous waterfalls, Skogafoss is amazing for its size and water power. It is surrounded by dark rocky walls that I used as guiding lines to focus attention on the white, soft, powerful waterfall. This photograph […]

Morning at Moonscape Overlook, Hanksville, Utah, USA

Morning at moonscape overlook, hanksville, utah, usa

A few years ago, I went on a photography workshop in Capital Reef National Park in Utah. It lasted six days and five nights, with the middle three spent camping. Our second camp was at the clifftop of Moonscape Overlook. The evening was largely spent around Factory Butte. We had a fire that night and […]

Etruscan Coast, Tuscany, Italy

Etruscan coast, tuscany, italy

I am a landscape photographer based in Livorno (Italy), and I often take my photos close to home. I am lucky enough to live on a stretch of rocky coast that is very interesting in all seasons. The coast always offers something; you just have to know it well. Often, I don’t even need to […]

Chapman’s Pool Bay, Worth Matravers, Dorset, England

Chapman's pool bay, worth matravers, dorset, england

Chapman’s Pool was a lucky discovery. We were in our second week in Dorset and had changed houses to Worth Matravers, which gave us a wet and cold welcome. Lots of rain and a chilly breeze from the sea left us starting the log burner in the house in mid-July. Late afternoon, the weather improved, […]

Teton Fall Haze, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA

Teton fall haze, grand teton national park, wyoming, usa

When visiting Grand Teton National Park last fall, I encountered some challenging conditions related to wildfires in the area. On many shoots, it was impossible to see the mountain peaks in the background due to the smoke. However, at times, it made for some captivating atmospheric shots among the beautiful fall colors. In this image, […]

The Blue Lake Wildflowers, Rila Mountain, Bulgaria

The blue lake wildflowers, rila mountain, bulgaria

Another example of my favourite types of landscapes is one that includes a foreground (usually wildflowers), a lake with reflections, and a background—a steep mountain peak. The Blue Lake is located 2412 meters above sea level and has difficult access. With its 37-hectare area, it is the largest lake within the Karaomerichki group, which consists […]
