Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, but by the amount of places you've seen that take your breath away.

About the Photographer

Belgian photographer Boris Mar took his first image in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1996.  Ever since that moment his quest to take that perfect shot has never ended.  Many years later his portfolio includes breathtaking images from around the globe that speak for themselves.

Completely self-taught, Boris Mar’s photographs are taken in natural light, using only traditional in-camera techniques.

“I try to capture the true spirit of Mother Nature.  My ambition and my challenge are to witness her at her purest.  I strive to immortalise those rare occasions when Mother Nature shows her very special face, a moment in nature that tells a story.”

Boris Mar goes to the extreme to capture his images.  Harsh and long hikes.  Countless nights camping out. Waiting for that magic light for hours, sometimes days.  Extensive research to pinpoint that special location.  The result: fine-art photographs of breathtaking moments taken at breathtaking places, where few or until now no one has ventured before.

“While most people are running their hectic, everyday life, somewhere there’s a beautiful natural spectacle happening.  My ambition is to find and witness this spectacle, capture it on film and share it with you.  Although very challenging, time-consuming and physically hard; to me this is simply the best job in the world”

Born and raised in Belgium, Boris Mar has travelled the world.  He is currently residing in Melbourne, Australia which has given him the opportunity to extensively photograph this massive continent and expand his panoramic landscape portfolio.  Throughout 2010 Boris Mar has launched new limited edition prints of his Australian panoramic landscape images.  All which can be viewed on this website.

“Australia is a magical place.  It’s one of the purest and most untouched places on earth.  A timeless land which takes you back to the origin of nature.  My images of Australia are a reproduction of a pure world.  Our world the way it used to be a long time ago.  A time before humans came into the picture.”
