Fripito

Bolivia is a very poor, but beautiful South American country. If you decide to visit it, be ready to endure some discomfort, which will be rewarded by out-of-this-world beautiful nature and friendly people. Bolivia is very inexpensive, so you can stay a long time at minimum cost.

This guide will take you to gorgeous volcanoes in the north, colorful lagoons, Salander de Uyuni – the largest salt lake in the world, with its very own cacti island, Lake Titicaca and many other sites.

Get ready for stark contrasts, unique culture, nature and way of life. If you want to get away from it all, and return back to nature to find yourself, Bolivia is your destination.

This guide includes:

• information about Sajama national park, Salar de Uyuni and Isla Incahuasi, lagoons, Arbol de Piedra, Sol de Maňana, Desert de Dali, Ulturuncu volcano, Tupize, Potosí, La Paz and Lake Titicaca
• 50 stunning photographs with practical tips about weather, transport, accommodation, where and what to eat and etc.

Like many people, I began “shooting” as a kid. I started with a film camera for beginners one summer break. When I started making money, I bought my first SLR (in 1995) and focused mainly on street photography. The turning point in my career came in 2010 when I bought a digital SLR and signed up for a workshop in Scotland. I completely succumbed to the magic of landscape photography and it became my obsession.

When photographing landscape I stay in one place for a long time. I pick one motive and take pictures until I am perfectly satisfied with the result. I like shooting from various, often unnatural, angles and watch the result change with the angle, light, weather.

I am not a complete minimalist, but my main rule is that less is more. Fewer shots, fewer distracting elements in the shot.

Since 2012, I have been organizing charity exhibitions from my travels.

I use a Canon EOS 5D III. My favorite lenses are Canon EF 14mm and Canon EF 16-35mm.
