Welcome to my Flickr photo stream. My name is Ilya Genkin, and I am a freelance landscape, travel and stock photographer from Sydney, Australia with a passion for landscape, nature and travel photography.

I started photography back in 1980 as hobby but later then landscape photography became my true passion during mountaineering in Northern Tien-Shan, Kazakhstan. I've been inspired by beauty of the high mountains and by numerous landscape and nature photographers, from great names such as Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell, Art Wolfe, John Fielder and many others. Landscape and travel photography for me is my very personal way to capture and to share the beauty of our world with the other people through unique images. I always try to get to know a place before shooting. Learn your subject, know your subject, return to the same place over and over again, at different times of day, during different seasons, and under variable weather conditions. This takes time and a lot of effort but the reward is high.

I post my images for the enjoyment of the Flickr community, but please respect my copyright. If you like my photos and want to purchase a print, please feel free to contact me through Flickr or my website. All images published on my website are available as high-quality fine art prints. For information on how to license my photography or if you would just like to see more of my work, please visit my website Landscape and Travel Stock Photography.

I am continually adding new images to my site and I invite you to share my own vision of the world. And I hope you enjoy. Thanks very much for taking the time to look at my work. Also, I appreciate the comments left on my posted photos. I read them all as time allows but I am busy and don't always have the chance to reciprocate with comments but try when possible. Thanks for your understanding and your kindness in commenting regardless.
