Gallery Info

This collection of Chile landscape photography features photos from the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, and the surrounding mountains near San Pedro de Atacama. Large sand dunes, salt flats, and eroded rock formations dominate the scenery, including the dramatic terrain of the Valle de Marte and Valle de la Luna. My goal with these images was to capture the scale, textures, and quiet atmosphere of the region, highlighting the unique character that makes the Atacama so distinctive.
