Following a career as an engineer, researcher and university lecturer he made a dramatic change of career as a nature and landscape photographer, his true passion and vocation. Today, he travels extensively in search of those fleeting moments when light and land combine to create something very special.

His work has been awarded in many international photography competitions, including the prestigious Master Hasselblad Award, several First Prizes in the International Photography Awards (USA), Px3 Prix de la Photographie de Paris and Px3 People's Choice (France), Nature’s Best (USA), International Conservation Awards (USA), European Nature Photographer of the Year GDT (Germany), MML International (Spain), Trierenberg Super Circuit (Austria), Panoramic Photographer of the Year Awards (Australia), etc. Ironically, the more awards his work obtains, the less Rafael likes his photographs!

We all know there are no recipes for any artistic endeavour ... but can we discuss about the ingredients?

Rafael Rojas will focus on landscape photography as a creative way of personal artistic expression. He will tackle the different aspects which take part in the photographic process of an artist confronted not only to the outer landscape, but most of all to the inner one. Some of Rafael’s photographs will be used along the lecture to humbly illustrate the points discussed.

At the end of the lecture, Rafael Rojas will briefly introduce Whytake - The Global Community of Nature PhotographersTM, from which he is one of the founders and directors.
