These days, it is very popular to show the fire side of Iceland, for those lucky enough to be able to travel there to photograph the new volcano. Being hard for me to travel there now, I thought I’d show the icy side of it with a couple of images from my archives. 236 sec, f/11, Hasselblad...

Even though I don’t remember anymore how many times I have been standing in this exact place shooting this specific view, I doubt I will ever reach a point of satiation. Every time, I am there, I feel like my Baffin Island Photo Adventure wouldn’t be fulfilled without a shot from this spot. The...

Aurora is a natural wonder that everybody should experience at least once in a lifetime. There are no two Auroras that are the same so the feeling is unique spatially and temporally. I specifically enjoy taking photos of Aurora just before it gets totally dark. When the last light of the sun is...

For many, the Arctic is synonymous of a hostile environment and for most of the time, it is true. But each year, for a very short period the Arctic changes. This extremely sensitive natural environment that is fully productive each year only for a few weeks enables survival of many different...

Being in an amazing location with an enormous potential for interesting photos when the weather shows its ugly side can be discouraging if not depressing. When waiting for a sign of a clearing in the sky turns minutes into hours or even days, the mood darkens almost as quickly as the last...

This year, the photo of Mount Northumbria opens my post-Baffin Island 2018 Workshops photos presentation. After five years of workshops that I am fortunate to lead in this extraordinary location, I become more and more interested in featuring less known, yet absolutely beautiful Baffin Island...

A busy and usually full of life mountain forest can easily become a temple of silence. When a fog suddenly engulfs trees allowing only a tiny pass-through for the light, the forest enters into a state of numbness. This sudden touch of silence that swallows up all noises brings a great...

This trip was full of extremes. It came about without any significant amount of planning and happened around the shortest and the coldest time of the year. I went to the farthest North part of Canada where you can still drive. This photo shows mountains near the Artic Circle at around 1pm. As...

When after many days of hiking you see Mt. Overlord you know that you are getting closer to the end of the trail. The memories of sweating (and even swearing) during bogs crossings are still coming to your mind, but they are starting to have a taste of a small victory rather than exhaustion...

Iceland is every photographer’s dream. The landscapes created by ice and fire during millennia of geologic violent events and then shaped by the forces of erosion are unique and impressive in any season, under any light and any weather. Next spring, I’ll put my knowledge of Iceland to photograph...

Auyuittuq National Park is all about ice. Ice is an inseparable element of Arctic’s paysage. It is present there in various forms, regardless of the season. Icebergs are just one of its creations. When we reached the end of the fjord, we were astonished by the quantity and size of these floating...

How many oddly shaped peaks can you see from one viewpoint and include on one photograph? In my opinion, many and this is exactly what I was trying to showcase in this photo. But let me assure you, it is only a small fragment of the entire oddly shaped mountain range. Interestingly enough, these...
