Mountains can share mesmerizing views with the one who observes,
mountains can display the immense force of ever changing weather. Mountains
can be the most peaceful place one moment, and summon all of it’s demon
guards the next. One mountain can remind you of your first love, long
forgotten, another can be intimidating like a huge predator. There is something
supernatural about mountains. We love mountains, and one day we uncovered
that some pictures of peaks hide something more. Simple mirror placed under
the picture, transforms a landscape so familiar into something completely
supernatural.

Two people that share common passion for photography, passion that has been developing for combined more than 14 years, slowly growing from occasional shot of beautiful place to something larger, to expressing ourselves. People that share so much of how we see the world that there is no need to speak or discus, we just shoot. Shoot to express our attitude, our dreams and our vision.
