Arctic Bloom, Arctic Circle, Norway
In Norway, at the 66th parallel north, the Arctic landscape reveals itself with a calm that is never final. Even in summer, everything seems temporary: the light, the sky, even the color. This photograph was born in one of those moments of unstable equilibrium, when the land seems suspended between openness and closure, between welcome […]
Stars And Autumn sky, Santa Cruz do Douro, Baiao, Porto, Portugal
Last October, on a completely clear night with mild temperatures and a perfectly still atmosphere, I sat gazing at the sky. The stars seemed static (and they were), but the Earth was moving, rotating on its axis. If we could focus our attention entirely on the sky, perhaps we could see how rapidly it changes […]
Burnt Tree, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA
On the day we visited Bryce Canyon, it was rainy and foggy. We later learned that the edge of the canyon is between 8,000 – 9,000 feet in elevation, so we were actually up in the clouds while we were in the park. As a result, we were not able to see many of the […]
Dragons By The River, Quinan, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada
Heavy fog is my preferred atmospheric occurrence for photography. The soft, diffused light, and its ability to separate foreground and mid-ground elements from what can otherwise be considered the chaos of woodland or other background elements, keep a subject more apparent. It helps make compositions much less cluttered and simpler. Because of fog’s ability to […]
Sun Rays and Desert Lighthouse, Rubjerg Knude Fyr, Denmark
I was walking to the lighthouse that day. It was very cloudy, but then the sun broke through the clouds for a moment, and I thought it would make a cool photo.
Purple Mountains Majesty, Upper Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona, USA
What a beautiful landscape in the Antelope Canyons—Upper and Lower! Occasionally, the most compelling view is not directly ahead but above or below, as was the case with this photograph. Due to restrictions on flash use within the canyons, I lay on my back and captured the image looking upward, shooting handheld. During winter, the […]
Raplee Monocline Sunset, Mexican Hat, Utah, USA
I have spent many years wandering and photographing in the American Southwest, and I have marveled at this geological wonder near Mexican Hat, Utah, whenever I’ve been in the area. It is known as the Raplee Monocline. I tried to photograph it several times, but it was very hard to find a good vantage point […]
A Journey Through Time, Kirkjufell, Iceland
My connection with Kirkjufell began in 2015, when I first saw this iconic mountain at sunset, its colours leaving a lasting impression. In autumn 2023, I returned to this mighty mountain, this time at sunrise. Bathed in soft morning light, Kirkjufell felt like meeting an old friend again. Then came 2025. Alone at 3:00 a.m. […]
Full Moon Among Oaks, Alcanena, Santarem, Portugal
Last October, the almost-full moon enchanted me as I watched it between the leaves of two oak trees. Using a long‑focal‑length lens, even with a small aperture, I couldn’t get the moon and the leaves in focus in the same image. So I took two images: one focused on the moon and the other on […]
The Vertical Silence Of The Lofoten Islands, Norway
In the Lofoten Islands, the landscape never fully reveals itself. It allows itself to be glimpsed, held in place by an unstable light and a sky that changes mood with solemn slowness. The mountains emerge from the sea like ancient presences, dark, essential, sculpted by wind and time. They do not dominate the space; they […]
