Being in Spain these days is making me look at my work in a different way... 🎞
I love travel photography but I also love shooting with a meaningful message towards nature, wildlife and different cultures in the world. 🌍
Approaching photography with feelings instead of just pressing the shutter to create “beautiful content” it’s the best way to go for me. An image it’s just and image as beautiful it could be if this doesn’t have any meaning or story behind...
I have been in the mountains of “Castilla y León” (Spain). Seeing these beautiful sunflower fields 🌻 made me want to do some self-portraits here and talk about about some little creatures that really need our help:
THE BEES 🐝
Every sunflower here, had few bees on it and even though I have been always a bit anxious around them since I was little, they also fascinate me.
I’ve got to break my fear for first time going into this field surrounded by them. And the truth is, if you don’t disturb them, they will never attack you. They probably respect you more than you respect them! ❤️
The simple fact is, if bees didn't exist, neither would humans. Accordingly, it's extremely disconcerting that honeybees have been dying at an alarming rate over the past decade or so.
The main reasons for global bees-decline are:
▶️ Industrial agriculture
▶️ Parasites/pathogens
▶️ Climate change
The loss of biodiversity, destruction of habitat and lack of forage due to monocultures and bee-killing pesticides are particular threats for honeybees and wild pollinators. 😞
It’s our responsibility now to don’t let them extinguish!
✅ Shop responsibly, avoid pesticides and grow flowers in your gardens...
