Lonely Glow

This is an image taken in Lofoten in February 2019. That year, my usual Lofoten tour was very windy, rainy, stormy and snowy but not without moody scenes that were really interesting! It was a really cloudy sunset so the sky was not so colorful, but there was a little, soft glow that illuminated the mountain on the left of the image and the cloud above it. I really loved the three-dimensionality created by the snow on the rocks.

Ama Dablam (6812m) Taken from The Chukung Valley (South Everest)

I took his ama Dablam portrait during the start of an altitude snowstorm. I was over 5000m stand at Pheriche peak to capture this moment. The descent was a bit tricky considering the small littles spike of ice starting to come into my face because of the storm. It's always a risk management to capture an atmosphere like this one, deciding when it's the best moment to take the pose, and when it's a necessity to get back to base camp to be safe. I love sneaking between the edge of security and danger, it always give me terrific and gorgeous Himalayan sceneries.
