Very few Spaniards are awake before sunrise unless it is for work. Spanish bees, however, and buzzing and busy at this time and especially in the Lavender fields of Brihuega, España. Photography is a funny thing. When I left this sunrise I was convinced that my images were destined for immediate deletion because I just didn't feel the vibe. Then a few days go by and I open them up in lightroom and start cropping and - BAM! - an amazing image like this appears. Looking back on it, I really enjoyed my Sunrise with the Bees.
I’ve come to see how my deep connection to nature has profoundly shaped my path as a visual artist. Today, I’m driven by a desire to share the breathtaking elegance and understated power of the natural world. For me, photography is more than just capturing images—it’s about honoring the artistry and beauty of nature itself and the joy I find in preserving those extraordinary moments in time. As an award-winning artist in the medium of digital photography, Max has his work showcased on this website, publishes his monthly Blog - the Tripod Traveler, offers guided photography tours in Valencia.
