In my early 20s I embarked on a 6 month journey around South America that completely changed my life. Armed with nothing but a backpack and a dream, I navigated the continent solely by bus, taking tips from locals and other travelers to plan my itinerary.
When I got to Patagonia, I was blown away by the dramatic peaks, reflecting glacial lakes, and vibrant blue rivers winding through the landscapes. I had never seen anything so spectacular before. My hunger for adventure was born.
Some locals had suggested visiting Patagonia during fall. They told me it was the most beautiful sight in the world. Unfortunately that was not an option this time around.
I took this photo 5 years later, returning as a photographer after spending the years thinking about the colourful event the locals told me about. Seeing things through a new lens, I revisited the spots that had previously changed my life and braved the unforgiving elements of Patagonia to capture my favourite images I have ever taken.
