Nature photographer based in France

My name is Quentin Karas, I am 24 years old and I live in France. I have been working as a mechanic and after-sales agent for a while, but I didn’t feel very comfortable in these positions. I was missing something, a feeling that many of you may recognize. Photography is something I have always loved doing, so one year ago I just decided to stop my work to get 200% into photography. 

I have been learning and practicing every day in order to improve, photographing places, trying out things. There are so many great photographers out there to get inspiration from, and thanks to technology we can develop and grow at a super fast pace.

"Nowadays I am working on setting up my company and establishing myself in the photography world."

I feel like I have found my thing and I intend to live that way. Photography helps me in life and in processing and expressing my emotions. It gave me more confidence. Landscape photography specifically, inspires me enormously. Mountains and forests are my favorite, it is just magnificent to wander around there and feel how the environment affects me. Nature has a lot to offer us, to show us, and I love the dynamics of the landscapes. 

That is also what I enjoy so much in photography; I can always show something with my photos, something more than the image itself. I can convey an emotion, an atmosphere, my vision of photography and nature. I spend a lot of time editing my photos to create the mood I am looking for, the mood that matches my feeling and the emotion I want to share through the photograph. By lowering the highlights I can create this mystic and gloomy atmosphere that you see in many of my photos. I think this is my style, I just love it. Then, after shooting and editing my photos, I like sharing them as well.

"People can discover the world through my photos, and this is exactly why I believe social media is a great source; it allows us to learn about other things, things further away from us, things we otherwise may never discover."
