Juan Lopez Ruiz from Fuenlabrada Madrid, Spain
My passion for photography has been with me since I was a child and I have always found it very interesting to be able to portray and immortalize the unique moments that nature offers us.
In 2017 I could finally buy my first digital reflex camera and since then I have not stopped learning and perfecting myself in this beautiful art being able to combine my passion for photography and nature, until now I have not stopped documenting myself in an autodidactic way learning to understand light and perfecting my technique in the use of the camera as well as in the subsequent digital edition of my images which for me is something fundamental.

Judith Kuhn from Immenstaad, Germany
Hello! I am Judith...
I would like to call myself an “ambitious amateur photographer”. My main focus is nature and landscape photography, but I also like to make detours to other genres.
Everything I know about photography is self-educated. A few books here, some internet research there, inspiration from the works of other photographers and a lot, really a lot of trying things out has brought me to where I am today.
My great happiness is my home on beautiful Lake Constance, where I have a lot of photo spots right on my doorstep and the way to the Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps is not too far. I also love to travel to more exotic destinations on my vacation, with the north being particularly appealing to me.

John Twiname from Hamilton, New Zealand
I am an amateur photographer based in New Zealand. I have been interested in photography since my brother gave me a camera back in the early 80s. I had been using a Nikon FE2 and using mainly slide films to take landscape, street and portrait photography in New Zealand, and Asia in my 20s. With the advent of the full-frame sensor, I have since developed an interest in black and white fine arts and architecture photography.
