Why landscape photography?

You can find and see the beauty everywhere, but the beauty of nature is the most immediate one. It is also the most universal if not always the most obvious.

I like to travel, and I like to share my travel stories. I try to tell these stories through my pictures and show the beauty I see to those who would look.

Slow photography

The term has been around since early 2010s, but not because it was unknown before, just the opposite.

Photography has always been slow, from the very beginning up to the recent past, when it hugely accelerated and massively changed, forever. The shift started as technical at first but evolved affecting our very understanding of the trade, the way we think and feel about it, and lastly, how we go about practising it.

Digital made photography accessible to everyone, made it possible to work fast and cheap, and led in the end to the explosion of images being taken every moment, everywhere, for any reason—for no reason at all.

Photography has become fast by custom, by habit, and eventually by definition. This called for a new name to the old tradition, hence "slow photography".

I think the name is misleading. I photograph slow because my camera uses film, has manual focus and no zoom lens—I don't have a choice.

Ortler • Stelvio NP, South Tyrol, Italy

On the other hand, this is regardless. I would still give a good thought before pressing the shutter.

Digital photography and slow photography are not mutually exclusive. In particular, landscape photography and slow photography are a natural match, no matter what medium is in place.

As a landscape photographer, you are in a favourable position. Your subject is not going to vanish within seconds. Relax, take your time, and switch your camera's continuous mode off, for a change.

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Size does matter

In case of photography prints, most definitely.

My workflow results in panoramic images about 10,000px wide—or high, if it's an occasional waterfall or lighthouse.

Framed prints from them are available at up to 270cm/106". Maximum size for loose paper prints is 300cm/118". And most will look good even that big!

In any case, you can order them at exact dimensions you need, with your choice of frame, mount, and photographic paper.
