Wildlife/Animals nominee

One cold winter morning, after a light snowfall, the nest of this stork (which is very close to one of the bird observatories in the Salburua park, Vitoria-Gasteiz) was completely covered with snow. Taking advantage of the blurring of the aluminum profile of the walls of the fence that is in the access to the observatory and that coincided in height with the base of the nest, the snow that was on it and the leaden sky that was in the background, I made this portrait taking advantage of the moment when the stork fleshed out its plumage, swayed by a light and icy wind.

Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Musician by profession and passionate about photography. I studied photography at the Vitoria-Gasteiz School of Arts and Crafts. Although I have done portraits and concert photography, from the beginning I have been more attracted to nature and travel photography, especially landscape photography. In the year 2020, in full confinement in a small town in Rioja Alavesa and in full spring effervescence, I had the opportunity to discover wildlife photography. Since then I have dedicated myself to reading, studying and observing with the intention of learning as much as possible but above all to enjoy. Nature photography has become my particular yoga.
