📍Farol da Ponta de São Lourenço, Portugal (1870)

Houses clinging to the mountains of São Vicente, Madeira.
Nothing is flat here. Each home finds its place between terraces and winding roads

They say our love for the sound of waves is written deep within us.
A distant memory from when life began in the water.

In Madeira, facing the Atlantic, the roar of the waves isn’t just sound. It feels like a call. A deep and calming rhythm.

Stranded in 1982 on the western tip of Anticosti Island, the fishing vessel Calou came to rest on the shallows. The Gulf’s waters are as beautiful as they are treacherous.

Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse
Gaspésie (Québec) Canada

The Nicolet lighthouse did not withstand the ice and rising waters. Built in 1907 on Lake Saint-Pierre (Québec, Canada), it had watched over the waters of the St. Lawrence for more than a century. But last monday, nature decided otherwise.

The Three Sisters Peaks.

The Three Sisters are a trio of mountain peaks overlooking Canmore, Alberta. Known as Big Sister, Middle Sister, and Little Sister, they stand tall, shaped by time and nature. Both imposing and graceful, these iconic summits rise like silent sentinels, watching over the valley with timeless beauty.

The Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse, located in Rimouski, Quebec, was built in 1909 and stands 33 meters tall, making it the second-highest lighthouse in Canada. It is the third lighthouse built on this site, and seven keepers served there before its automation in 1975.

Last weekend, I had the privilege to photograph the Pointe-au-Père lighthouse by drone. I love the contrast between the softness of the snow and the brilliance of the lighthouse’s beam.

Studio portrait of a sphynx cat.

This is my most popular photo ever. It was published in several places, including a feature in The New York Times, which remains my proudest photographic achievement. Unfortunately, it has also been stolen and used all over the web. I even discovered a version of it tattooed on someone’s arm—wild!

Two hikers on the Sgòr Gaoith in Scotland.

The trail leading to the summit of Sgòr Gaoith in Scotland. The near absence of trees on these slopes allows hikers to enjoy uninterrupted views throughout the entire ascent. The rugged terrain and expansive Scottish landscape create a grand spectacle—emblematic of hiking in this region.

The album is also available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other streaming platforms.

Chansons cachées, by Patrick Matte 13 track album

Presenting my music! In 2006, I released Chansons cachées, an album I wrote and recorded during a break between jobs. It was an intense, one-time experience—I’m a perfectionist, so I poured everything into it. Nearly 20 years later, I’m proud to share this glimpse of my time as a singer-songwriter.

That's impressive work.

Cows in the fog, because… why not?
Spotted these two curious cows while hiking in the Swiss Alps near Mürren. I had to pass by them to continue my day. They were friendly enough to let me through without any fuss.

Nice shot! Long exposition?

These are the ruins of the Duntulm Castle on the beautiful Isle of Skye.

Hello Bluesky. I love photography. I hope you do too.
