The only true sunset I witnessed during the nearly 9 days I spent in northern Spain. It had been raining most of the time. After a challenging hike on almost nonexistent, very steep, slippery and precipitous trails, we finally reached a ridge summit. The view was incredible over the entire Riaño mountain range and its lake, as the sun slowly set, encircled by clouds. These small wind-twisted trees growing directly from the rock immediately caught my eye, creating a perfect frame.

I am an award-winning fine art landscape photographer with a passion for nature and cityscapes, in particular mountains. Based in the French Alps, I mainly travel throughout them and in Europe to show the beauty of the Old Continent. I especially enjoy working on colors and light in my pictures, and strive to create bright and dreamy images that bring the very best out of each landscape. My goal is to convey the essence of a place to the viewer with each image. I also pay particular attention to composition, which is in my opinion the most important element in a picture.
