antelope canyon in black & white

The antelope canyon is a magical place and is described by the Navajos as “the place where water runs through rocks”.

I would not recommend this to claustrophobic people as it happens to be a tight spot. It is a unique place and totally worth the drive. Everything you see once you went down the canyon are shades of red, brown and orange with a little bit of blue in the sky above you. Flash floods have created these unique shapes in the rocks over centuries.

The antelope canyon is a masterpiece of abstract art. With every move you make, you will see new forms and some amazing shades in the rocks.

This series of pictures in black&white reflects the beauty of wild nature.

aspiring photographer
The moment my father gave me my first camera, I became passionate about photography. At that time, saving a still image of an actual moment into a small box was magical for my 9 year old mind. At the age of 15, I became sort of addicted and after getting several digital upgrades, my camera gear turned out to be bigger and bigger.

I will always consider myself as an aspiring photographer. Every time you shoot, you learn something new. Moreover, the most fascinating thing about taking pictures is the necessity to adapt to each and every condition for the reason that natural lightning constantly changes, the object is always in motion, the weather conditions are never the same, am I using the right lens?, …

I consider photography as a continuous challenge, which means that I am eager to learn more and more over the upcoming years.
