After 15 days unconnected from the world, we have just arrived home from our photographic trip "Namibia, desert & wildlife 2013". What a magical 15 days in the company of our clients!
We enjoyed wonderful light conditions, glorious sunrises and sunsets over sand dunes, skies filled with millions of stars, lots of animals and even the magical experience of photographing the full moon rising over a magical Deadvlei... For what we saw already in our critical sessions, all our clients came back home with pretty incredible photographs!
Now, it is time to start planning our next trip "Namibia 2014", which will open for bookings in a few days. Check out soon the space http://rafaelrojasphoto.com/phototrip.php
Thanks to all the participants of this year!

It is not every day that I see my name appear besides names like Art Wolfe and Frans Lanting...
From here, my humble thanks to Outdoor Photographer magazine for having chosen me as one of the "Modern Landscape Masters" on their annual May special issue on landscape photography. I should mention, however, that the more I photograph the landscape, the more I realize how far I am from mastering it!

Interview on Foto4all available in PDF in the publications section of my website.
Throughout 11 questions, I had the pleasure to discuss with the great photographer Dorin Bofan about many aspects of my personal vision and work as a fine art photographer.
Foto4all is one of the leading magazines online, devoted to the most artistic, creative and inspirational side of photography. It is released monthly, written totally in English. I cannot recommend it enough.

Back from a week in Lofoten islands, Norway, unconnected from the world and FB.
We had an absolutely wonderful week. Rain, snow, blizzards, sun, hail, northern lights and a ton of mood. We had the three seasons in a same week I would say. I also had time to learn how to bake our own cinnamon rolls and to prepare fresh cod directly from the fishermen.
For most of the time I used my Hasselblad and Tmax B&W film, with a couple of rolls of Velvia. I will take a few weeks to develop and postprocess, but I guess there will be some really moody and gloomy black and white photographs there in those rolls...
A few cards of digital photographs too, mainly with "window photographs" of the place, like the one here attached. A "pretty picture" of the trip, quite dissonant with the rest of work I have made there I guess...
Putting up with the sun now in... more »
