Absolutely perfect sunrise over Podere Belvedere, a historic farmhouse in the heart of Val d'Orcia’s countryside. The fog resembled the sea, forming waves and currents that moved quite rapidly at the foot of the Tuscan hills and swirled around the cypress trees. I captured the moment when the rising sun's rays touched only the top of this moving blanket of fog, turning it into what looked like molten gold, while leaving the valleys in shadow for several more hours.

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.
