After the storm, the forest lights up slowly.
Fireflies appear without warning and change everything around them.
A new firefly experience is coming soon
Storm over the Andes hightlands.
An exposed road, multiple lightning strikes cutting through the sky, and, in the distance, a snowstorm moving across the plateau during the altiplano winter.
It’s one of those moments when the landscape makes it clear who’s in control. Weather shifts fast, light disappears, and the horizon becomes an unstable line between wind, ice, and electricity. Photographing there means accepting that tension, observing from a distance, and waiting for the brief moment when everything aligns.
This image is about contrast. The violence of the lightning, the silence of the approaching snow, and the feeling of crossing a territory that was never meant to be tamed.
Aurora in Brazil? Not everything that glows in the sky is an aurora.
Recently, an image of a greenish sky went viral, suggesting it could be an aurora visible from Brazil. The phenomenon is real, but it wasn’t an aurora. What appeared in those images is airglow.
These photos were taken in Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve, in Bolivia, between the Atacama Desert and the Uyuni Salt Flats. That night, the sky showed an intense airglow, enhanced by strong electrical activity from a distant storm on the horizon.
Airglow is a natural emission of light from the upper atmosphere, caused by chemical reactions. It can be influenced by atmospheric dynamics, distant storms, and also by solar activity. In truly dark places, far from light pollution, this glow becomes visible to the naked eye, often in green or reddish tones.
It’s more subtle than an aurora, but just as fascinating. And a reminder that when the night is still dark enough, the sky reveals layers many people have never seen.
I waited 12 years for this photo.
I first saw the Moon perfectly aligned with the Baú peak in 2008. That moment sparked an artistic obsession. For years, I returned to the same spot in São Bento do Sapucaí trying to capture it by intuition, but the Moon rises at a different point on the horizon every single day.
After a decade of unsuccessful attempts, I discovered an app that allowed me to finally plan this shot with absolute precision—for a date exactly one year away.
I waited.
The pulse of the Earth is at its peak. ✨🌿
With the January heat and summer rains, the forest has transformed into a living symphony of light. This isn't just photography; it’s capturing the vital energy of an ecosystem.
