Landscape nominee

Some places have a certain soul, an extra spark.

After meandering up the mountain road, leaving the dramatic valley of Rjukan below, the plateau unfolds with Gaustatoppen rising above. Started in December 2019, the GAUSTA IN SEASONS project has documented this world-class mountain Norwegian destination until September 2020.

I’m a French-Peruvian fine art photographer based in Norway. Nature, urban life, and live music are among the topics that inspire me the most. I’ve always been amazed by the beauty of nature and cultural heritage. In that sense, I got involved in photography while documenting ecotourism experiences in Peru during 2006. After working for more than a decade as a sustainable development consultant, I decided to return to school and study photography as a new creative career. I would discover there influential artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Ernst Hass, Brett Weston, and Saul Leiter. They still have a significant impact on my aesthetics. Nowadays, I’m working on other visual projects in Vestland county.
