My interest for photography started when i had the need to show my family the places i was visiting due ot my job. Although, i always had the need of expressing myself in some way, and with the need came something that in the present moment i`m in love with.

i find such an amazing thing to capture a moment, a memorie, a landscape, etc. because it allows me to connect myself with very deep feelings. Specially nature shots that are my favorites.

 

I have a very close relationship with this world i live in. i `ve always felt (since i was a kid) very sensitive about this conection. it`s something that i can trully not explain because it goes beyond my understanding. Maybe it`s a way to explain my existence but i think it`s more a way to feel an innerself peace, a spiritual conection; A feeling i can really sense the moments i walk a lonely coast, climb a mountain, or watch a starry night.

 

I`m a hiking lover. it`s in those moments of connection with nature when i take advantage to photograph nature. You may notice that on my stream. The joy of being surrounded by the greatness of earth

 

Southamerica

 

I definitively love my continent, southamerica; a land that remains wild in many aspects, a land of contrasts, colors, millenary cultures, unique landscapes, land of flavours, where the spicy latin vibe can be easily felt in all of its countries.

The Amazonian jungles, the driest deserts, caribbean beaches, the eternal ices in the southern patagonia, the high plains full of colorful lagoons where wild fauna live free... and so on... wooow, I could speak about the southamerican geography for days!

you´ll see a piece of everything that southamerica can offer on my stream.

 

Chile

 

... and of course i love CHILE, my country, a long and narrow piece of land where extreme landscapes stretch from north to south.

In the northern area, the Atacama, driest desert on the surface of planet earth.

In the central area, acrossing valleys that start in the high andes range to finish near the ocean, valleys full of natural richness where vineyards produce one of the finest wines in the world.

the southern territories, where glaciars fill the view surrounded by stunning mountains and frozen lakes and where the Andes mountains dissapear in the cold magallanes sea to reborn in antartica... 15 Regions (districts) that have so much to offer and that i will try to show on my stream.

i hope i can make many friends here on flickr. this has been such an amazing experience so far. so don´t be afraid to contact me, i´m a very friendly guy and i´m looking for making great friends through the art of photography

Alvaro, Alvaro, the magnificently talented Chilean stallion! Charming, funny, thought-provoking, and with a keen intelligence and passion for life and all the beauty that he sees and experiences, Alvaro focuses all of this through his lens and produces some of the most breath-taking images on Flickr. I am proud to call this man my friend, and every new picture I see from him puts a smile on my face and stirs the wanderlust in my heart. For Alvaro is also a man of adventure and he brings his camera everywhere he goes on his hikes and travels. His love for his country of Chile and for South America shows with every picture he takes. Alvaro's skills as a photographer are vast and impressive, and he takes jaw-dropping images of anything he points his camera at, from lustrous full-frame macro flowers to dazzling wide-angle panoramas and everything in between. With his lovely images, Alvaro acts as an ambassador to his country, and I am so glad to know him and to have the chance to see the world through his eyes! :) Yo te saludo!

Alvaro has a true sense of style in his photography. I really enjoy seeing South America - and especially his native Chile - through his photographer's eye. The places, colours, and textures that he produces regularly are excellent. If you like to explore South America, check out his stream. I highly recommend it!
