Landscape

Many landscape photographers pursue light across various terrains, beginning their activity in
the early hours before dawn. This process often involves hiking with equipment to reach a
vantage point prior to sunrise. The goal is to capture moments when natural conditions
change—such as the first sunlight through mountain mist, vibrant colours over desert horizons,
or moonlight reflecting on water—without others present. These early starts are viewed as

integral to documenting nature during times of transition, like the shift from blue hour to golden
hour, when landscapes remain largely undisturbed. Landscape photography can serve as a
methodical engagement with the natural environment, emphasizing careful observation and
patience to record transient beauty. For some, these images are not only records but also aim to
convey the atmosphere of a place and its impact on those who view it.
