I go by @fabxplore on Instagram and I am a photographer based in Switzerland. Maybe you are familiar with the Swiss landscapes. If not, I extremely recommend you to visit us one day!
I can say without any doubt that the sceneries of my country inspired me to start exploring nature. What began as a hobby, eventually led me to a constant search for the unknown.
As a result, I decided to visit Iceland in 2008. I truly wanted to see if Iceland was the most dramatic country in the world…
So, what can I say about that trip?
Even if I enjoyed a lot hiking and discovering new sites around Switzerland, it was this trip to Iceland what completely trigger my passion for landscape photography. The wild and remote sceneries of Iceland enlightened my perception of our planet. In addition, this was the first time I used a camera while traveling.
I find photography to be fascinating because we all have the opportunity to catch and freeze time. Think about it…Isn’t that incredible?
When taking landscape photos, I feel both space and time differently. Sometimes I think that I can even add an extra dimension to the world surrounding us.
Furthermore, I would say that Instagram also contributed to my fascination for landscape photography. In fact, Instagram is an immense source of inspiration to me. It is in this enormous community where I can discover and learn from other talented photographers.
