Nature Photography Articles

One of the most complex challenges is getting the subjects that I want to portray in that landscape to be in that dark sector where the flash will illuminate. When they are insects or small animals (amphibians or reptiles), it is not difficult since I can create the frame, leaving the subject in that darkness. But with more active mammals or birds, the challenge is more complex and I often use barriers for those cases.

One freezing winter afternoon, I took advantage of my time to look again at the book Genesis by Sebastiao Salgado. I stopped at his photographs of the black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) and was mentally stuck there for months. Without realizing it, that afternoon my trip to the Falkland Islands had begun. After a year and a half, I was able to be there, among these wonderful birds that I admire so much.
