Fine Art nominee

Photo taken on a magical autumn morning at Lake bled in Slovenia. I had intended to go to another location that morning, but had a quick look at the Bled webcam and saw it was covered in mist. It's hit or miss whether this location gets mist in autumn or not, so I jumped at the chance and had one of my best mornings at this location ever.

I got into photography after a four-month journey around Mexico filled me with the desire to capture the wonderful life and scenery that had filled my eyes and fueled my imagination. Unfortunately, back then all I had was a very old compact camera with a severely scratched lens, therefore the images I took really weren’t very good. However, I saw the potential in what was there and therefore decided to invest in my first SLR and start to learn how to take better photos.

In the years that followed, I learned my craft while travelling and focused mainly on travel photography. But when I met my wife, who is from Slovenia, and started travelling in her country, then I started focusing more on landscape photography.


My photography and writing has been published in Mysterious World: Ireland, Lonely Planet, Living Abroad, Bradt Travel Guides, the Guardian and Landscape Photography Magazine, among others.
