entry description
In the middle of the Lut Desert stands these beautiful tall rock formations and after scouting I found this leading line in the ground that seems to be the remains of when there was once water there in the desert.about the photographer
I'm an Astrophotographer from the United Kingdom living in Switzerland. My passion for photography began 3 years ago after spending many nights watching the night sky. I said to myself one day I would like to take photographs of the stars. And with no camera experience before, I decided anyway to get myself a camera and so my journey into Astrophotography began. I am very passionate about what I do and I will go to extreme lengths to capture the image I want. It's an addiction for me chasing clear and dark skies and capturing images of landscapes with starry skies whilst everyone else sleeps warm in bed at night. I will freeze in the coldest conditions and hike mountains with crazy payloads and spend days awake all in the hopes of capturing the images I plan to envision.back to gallery
