I Am A Mountain Photographer And This Year I Travelled To The Alps To Capture The Colorful Fall There (30 Pics)

I have been photographing for 19 years now. I like all places with mountains. I travel to countries where mountains dominate the landscape. In the last 10 years, I have visited 45 countries on 4 continents. South America is my dream destination (I was there a few years ago in Patagonia). The Andes are probably the most beautiful mountain range in the world. I would like to visit Peru, Argentina, Chile and Bolivia again. I also like the landscape of the United States - there is probably everything a photographer could want in this country.

I am a painter by education (I graduated with awards from the faculty of painting). For many years I worked as a painter and animator. I was one of the animators at "Loving Vincent" and painted a dozen scenes that you can see in the movie!

At some point, however, I had to decide whether to be a photographer or a painter. Both professions were difficult to reconcile with time. Photography gave me more fun and money, so I chose photography.

The most difficult part of being a landscape photographer is traveling and photographing for many years so as not to get tired of it and not to get discouraged. Living while camping and living in a car can be tiring in the long run. It's also difficult to constantly discover new places and photograph them in a way that no one has done before. 

Editing is an important part of the shooting process. During post-production, I give the photos my distinctive, easily recognizable style. I spend a lot of time on this. 

I must admit that for several years I have been traveling only to photograph the landscapes. I used to travel for the sole pleasure of traveling, but now the photos are the goal and the best trophy of the trip.
