Puerto Natales

Fishing boats

It is in this quiet little harbor with colourful wooden houses (nice photography subjects) that really begins the discovery of the wild Chilean Patagonia. Very busy during the austral summer, 18h daily light, Puerto Natales has no great interest in itself, but is located at the edge of a fjord and facing the lasts – and superb – Andean mountains.

Punta Arenas

Punta ArenasView of Punta Arenas from the Mirador

I arrived in Punta Arenas on a typical Patagonian windy day. Just prior our landing I saw from my window a small island with only what I believed to be a church on top of it. I took a few pictures. Little I knew it was in fact La Isla Magdalena. The island is the breeding location for several species of seabirds, most notably the Magellanic penguin.

Travel video for YouTube | Dubaï

This is a long due video. My trip to Dubaï finally got his own video. I wasn’t very inspired by it, the city is so artificial and nothing really interested me to be honest, no story. So why I went there you may ask? Well, there was several reasons to it but I’m not going to comment on that. Let’s say that I had a very cheap air fare to go. It wasn’t very long, just 2 nights and back to Switzerland. I made this video which is very contemplative and on a point of view mode.

New York 2014 in Black & White

Manhattan Bridge

Yes I know, lots of NYC stuff in this site already but I can’t help myself when it comes to the Big Apple. I travelled with friends and among them, Attilio, celebrating his 50 years, that and photography made this trip.

As Woody Allen says in “Manhattan” : “New York is a black & white city”. I tried to edit my last pictures in b&w. Some I find Ok and other.. well… no too bad. Anyway, not great art for sure but at least I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed shooting them 🙂

Paléo Festival 2012

Paleo Festival

The Paléo Festival is the largest music festival in Switzerland and it takes place in Nyon near lake Geneva. It’s a solid mix of music from all genres, good food from all the world, visual and plastic arts. Unlike other festivals, you can take your camera which is unique and very clever from the organisers. I even took my tripod this year. Enough writing, here are the pics..
