Dwellers of the Cold

Winter opens the door to a new world. A world of magic, of silence, of
day-dreaming... In the middle of the coldest days of winter in Lapland, at
minus 40°C, I saw trees become creatures, waiting in silence for spring
to come, bowing to a reticent winter Sun as a sign of reverence and
respect... No sound, no noise, no smell... Just the voices of these
creatures resonating in my mind.

Rafael Rojas was born in Spain 35 years ago. After a career spanning 10 years as an engineer and researcher/lecturer at the university he made a dramatic change by becoming a full time fine art photographer of the natural environment, his true passion and vocation. Today, he travels the wildest regions of our planet with a tripod on his shoulder, always in search of those fleeting moments when personal vision, light and land combine to create sheer magic and inspire the soul.
