Landscape nominee

This collection is set against the background of a storm in the Andean Altiplano where any notion of distance is blurred and where volcanoes of more than 6000 m are lost in the far distance. These deserted vastnesses ravaged by the extreme conditions of high altitudes are suffering from icy winds. Only rare clearings timidly manage to heat up in making their way through tormented clouds. And yet, in these lands inhospitable, an austere life emerges, both human and animal. In an atmosphere that hesitates between melancholy and grandiosity, the daily life of the inhabitants of another world is taking shape and seems to belong in our imagination to the vestiges of the past.

As a passionate photographer for many years, I have practiced photography across the continents, searching for the most inaccessible valleys and villages and always trying to improve my image making skills and my work on the smallest details. When I photographed my "Andean Storm" series, acquiring the status of professional photographer seemed obvious.

Loving the great landscapes, my main photographs deal with the life of faraway societies in South American and Himalayan mountainous landscapes. I am also interested in the rich palette of colors that nature has to offer, and in this regard, I photograph large natural theaters magnified by the twilight light of the sun and the moon.

In 2020, I chose to present my first fine art photography, and I participated in many contests, which resulted in a gold trophy in the "Landscape" category, a bronze trophy in the "Wildlife" category, a French second place in all categories of the Fine Art Contest 2020 organized by Sharad Haksar and One Eyeland, a nomination in the "Professional - Landscape" category of the Fine Art Photography Awards 2020 (FAPA), and four awards from the American community ViewBug.
