I took this photo during a misty morning walk in the Dolomites. The mountain peaks were partly hidden behind low clouds and the light was soft and diffuse, exactly the conditions I like to look for. It is moments like this that touch me: when nature feels still and your surroundings seem almost timeless.

My style is all about atmosphere. I often photograph on days when the light is a bit heavier, with mist or clouds, because that evokes a feeling I can relate to. This photo is a good example of that, subdued colours, soft transitions and a calm overall image.
For me, a photograph does not have to be loudly present in an interior. Instead, I hope this work adds something without being overpowering, an image that fits in a quiet space, or that someone recognises from their own experience with mountains, travelling or a preference for calm nature images.
