"Landscape" Theme Winners

From coastal regions, to plains and magnificent mountain ranges the Landscape view can be one of the most awe inspiring and beautiful images we will ever frame up.  Large in scale, lines, imagination and range but filled with so many beautiful details they can also be one of the most challenging to compose.

The Abyss  by Ramtin Kazemi

Picture
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by 
Ramtin​ Kazemi​ from Pickering, Canada

An artist whose imagery relies on Landscape Photography is a creature of the light... Waking up before Sunrise and coming back to tent after Sunset is what goes into capturing Mother Nature's most magical moments. It's all about the journey! It's this journey into the wild that I am passionate about. When you look at an image that speaks to you, one thing to remember is that it's a result of nothing but time, passion and love.

I started photography as a hobby. I have a degree from Recording Arts Canada. I really enjoy the journey through my lenses. I love to explore the backcountry of planet Earth and photograph places that have been rarely seen by the human eye. My passion for adventure and spending time in the wilderness and pristine landscapes that have been untouched since the beginning of times is what drives me. Nature has been a big part of my life as far as I remember and my life would be very little without the influence of the wilderness.  Remember: Photography comes after the journey itself!

I have been working hard and I'm ready to share it all with You! 
Please do not hesitate to use  my contact form to get in touch with us. We will be more than glad to answer your questions about any upcoming workshops or prints.
