Really love this one—both the mist-softened light and the way it holds sharp mountains against the forest. Film grain gives it this timeless, authentic quality. Absolutely worth following! #filmphotography #landscapephotography

Mountains rise sharply behind a thick forest, veiled in mist with soft, even lighting.

Muted blues and that particular Chilean light. The lifeguard station caught my eye—the rust-red against the gray-blue sky, and how small it stands in the scene.

Golden light, still water, and that bench framed perfectly by the trees. It's a quiet moment—exactly what I was after.

That golden light hitting the ridge while the ruins below sit in shadow—the contrast between the two moments happening at once. Glanum caught between day and dusk.

Waves breaking against the rocks, that soft light catching the spray—the beach town in the distance feels far away. Quiet moment before dark.

Fog thick enough to erase everything past those pines—just layers of gray bleeding into each other. The bare tree stands there sharp against all that softness, and the dormant grass holds onto some warmth in the color

Overcast light drained the scene to tone and silhouette. The group standing still created this perfect horizontal line, and I loved having the ship anchor everything offshore.

That palm tree anchoring the empty square—the pale stone facades, the yellow storefront, and that single white car. Clean light on a quiet morning.

All those lit windows stacked up against the blue hour sky—some warm orange, some cooler fluorescent, each one its own little world. That last bit of daylight fading into night.

This monochrome field work really caught my eye—the tonal range and compositional depth are compelling. Love when someone gets the most from B&W photography. Give them a follow!

That cyan sky doing all the work here—cold and flat but somehow rich. The glass blocks glow warm from inside, wrapping around the building in bands. Simple geometry against winter color.

Blue hour turned the whole scene cold except for those warm islands of light—the streetlamp, the truck's cab lights, those red marker lamps cutting through. Something about the way artificial light holds on in that deep blue twilight.

Beach plants anchoring the foreground, the pale sky and water almost merged. Simple frame looking out to something quiet.

Good light on the market baskets in Tongoy. All these colors—reds, oranges, yellows, greens—held together by weathered weave.

This one caught me—Morning light and mist painting mountains that mirror perfectly in calm water below. The power lines add quiet human presence to this grand landscape. Stunning. #landscapephotography #photography

Frost crystals catching light on delicate ferns, the one tall stem reaching up against pale sky—the detail and texture work here is stunning. Shot entirely on a smartphone, which makes it even more impressive. #naturephotography
