If I had to define true happiness, it would be what I feel when I climb on that crest and an expanse of mountains, forests and valleys unfolds before me, when I step out early and take that first deep breath, when the morning sun breaks through clouds and paints the land in unreal colors, when that salty ocean breeze first touches my face.

Nature fills me with awe, excitement and at the same time a deep inner peace. And every time I feel a deep need to capture what I see. For myself, to remind myself of that brief moment of beauty and serenity, to save that moment from getting lost in the unceasing torrents of time, but also because I want to share it with those who haven't witnessed.

I have a passion for photography, but not only for the sake of making striking images. I want to climb the mountains I see, raft the rivers I hear, swim in the ocean I smell, and adequately portray the beauty I see and experience.

Beautiful light happens rarely, and it takes immense effort and of course luck to be blessed with the right light. This means hiking and driving many hours in the dark, be it in the early morning or after sunset, whether in biting cold or hot, humid environs. Rather than a burden to me, it fills me with a wonderful sense of excitement, and these are the times when I feel truly alive.

Go out there and enjoy the beauty!
