David Navia: The Immensity of the Cantabrian Landscape

David Navia (David López García) is a landscape photographer based in Western Asturias, a privileged environment that has become the central axis of his work. Specializing in coastal and panoramic photography, his work stands out for capturing the vastness and drama of the Cantabrian coastline, using this format to showcase the grandeur of the cliffs and beaches in a truly immersive way.

Beyond merely documenting locations, David’s photography seeks to convey sensations and connect with the raw power of nature. His vision focuses specifically on working with light and shadow, seizing moments of high atmospheric intensity to shape the landscape and reveal textures that often go unnoticed.

In recent years, his technical evolution has led him to become a reference in his region, sharing his vision through workshops and specialized training. His ultimate goal remains the same: to invite the viewer to pause before the immensity of the scene and rediscover the natural environment through a new light.

Growing up on a small farm in the Missouri Ozarks, Trevor has always had a passion for wildlife. With a Master’s degree in Biology, Trevor’s career has been focused around guiding and environmental education. Over the years, he has spent a lot of time volunteering at zoos and sanctuaries, assisting with conservation projects and research, and traveling to remote places to document wildlife. As a photographer, he currently spends most of his time working as a guide for Backcountry Journeys, leading workshops globally, focusing on landscape and wildlife photography. In addition, he is also one of the company’s bear guides, who gets the privilege to take folks on epic adventures to Alaska to photograph brown bears. When he's not leading photography tours, he spends his free time working on passion projects while seeking out new adventures. 

A wildlife guide, photographer, and conservation educator, Pete is a proud ambassador for f-stop. His work spans some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments, guiding travelers through Polar Bear, Beluga Whale, and Northern Lights expeditions in Churchill, Manitoba; circumnavigating Iceland by road; and exploring the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia, the rainforests of Borneo, and the Cotswolds in the UK.

With a strong focus on wildlife interpretation and conservation storytelling, Pete helps travelers develop a deeper understanding of the landscapes and species they encounter. Outside of guiding, he rides a Yamaha Ténéré World Raid, completing long-distance expeditions on- and off-road across Europe, around Turkey and back. 

A passionate snowboarder, mountain biker, and lifelong adventurer, Pete relies on durable, purpose-built camera systems that perform in the harshest conditions.

Diego Manrique is a professional consultant and landscape photographer based in León, Northern Spain. For more than a decade, he has traveled extensively, with a strong focus on the United States and its National Parks. Although photography had always been present in his life, it was in 2020 when it became a central creative outlet. During the pandemic, with borders closed and his wife based in New York, photography became both a refuge and a catalyst for personal and artistic growth.

He began photographing the rugged coastline of Asturias, gradually developing a distinctive visual language focused on powerful, atmospheric, and remote landscapes. A key turning point came in 2021 during his first trip to the Norwegian Arctic, where he specialized in panoramic photography, Arctic environments, winter light, and aerial perspectives.

In recent years, Diego has received multiple national and international recognitions, including being named Photographer of the Year at the EPSON International Pano Awards, with awards spanning daytime landscape, night photography, and aerial categories. He also serves as a juror in international competitions and collaborates with selected brands within the sector.

While maintaining his professional career in consultancy, Diego approaches photography with the same excellence and commitment, engaging in education, talks, and community initiatives on a non-commercial basis. Driven purely by knowledge sharing and passion, this dual background allows him to approach visual storytelling with both creative sensitivity and analytical rigor.

Georgina Goodwin is a Kenyan-born documentary and conservation photographer with over 20 years of experience working across East and Central Africa. Her work explores the relationship between people, land, and wildlife, with a focus on community-led conservation and Indigenous knowledge systems, using photography as a way to reconnect people to the Earth and the natural world.

She is an Associate Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers, a former Canon Ambassador and certified Canon trainer, and the founder of GGImages Media. Through photography, mentorship, and education, Georgina is committed to ethical storytelling that connects people to place and supports locally-rooted conservation solutions.

Danielle has been photographing the world around her for as long as she can remember. As a child, a disposable Kodak film camera was rarely far from her reach.

Years later, the camera remains a constant companion—albeit a more sophisticated one. Her passion for photography, combined with a deep-rooted love for wildlife and untamed landscapes, naturally led her to become a professional photographic guide in Africa, where she was born and still resides. She spent many years living in Botswana, guiding photographic safaris through some of the country’s most remote and wild regions for guests from across the globe. Beyond Botswana, Danielle has led photo tours in Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Kenya, and has travelled extensively through both well-known and lesser-known destinations including Sudan, Lesotho, and Madagascar.

More than three decades spent in the bush have given her an intimate understanding of animal behaviour—an element she considers fundamental to compelling wildlife photography. Witnessing her guests grow in confidence and creativity behind the camera, while immersed in the beauty of the natural world, is what brings her the greatest joy. For Danielle, wildlife photography is as much about patience and presence as it is about the image itself.

Her vision is for photographic safaris to become one of the most sustainable forms of tourism, helping to protect the wildlife and wild places that are increasingly under threat. When she is not in the bush, she is happiest in or on the water—swimming, standup paddle boarding, or simply soaking up the sunshine.

Anke is a passionate landscape photographer based near Nuremberg in Bavaria, Southern Germany.

Curiosity and the desire to explore something new marked the beginning of her journey into photography. Early on, she realized that her true love lies in landscape photography, where she brings together tranquility, vastness, and natural aesthetics.

Before photography took on this central role, she was deeply engaged in the visual arts. Through oil painting and watercolor drawing, she developed a strong sensitivity for color, composition, and visual structure. These artistic foundations continue to form the basis of her photographic work and shape her distinctive visual language.

Since 2017, she has dedicated herself wholeheartedly to landscape photography. On her travels through Europe, she captures the diversity and beauty of nature under a wide range of light and weather conditions. In doing so, she has learned to appreciate being equipped with excellent gear and being well-prepared for the journey.

Her work has received multiple international awards. Highlights include the International Landscape Photographer of the Year (ILPOTY) 2019 – Lone Tree Award, along with numerous other prizes at prestigious international competitions.

In addition to her photographic work, she shares her passion through illustrated lectures, offering audiences insight into the unique impact of landscapes under changing light conditions and from different perspectives and she takes great pleasure in sharing her passion for photography with other photographers in carefully designed workshops.

During the last years, she has expanded her photographic practice to include drone photography. From the air, new and often abstract perspectives emerge, revealing familiar landscapes in unexpected ways and powerfully enriching her visual language.

Megan Brief is a wildlife photographer and nature writer based in Bozeman, Montana. She inspires empathy for endangered species by using storytelling as a bridge to belonging, understanding, and action. Her explorations have taken her to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, beneath the waves with Galapagos penguins, across the Arctic in search of polar bears, and through the grasslands of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. 

Megan grew up in New York’s Hudson Valley, where the mountains and marshlands nurtured her reverence for nature. What started as photographing microcosms in her backyard, led her to document human-wildlife conflict and coexistence on local hiking trails as part of National Geographic's Open Explorer initiative.

Megan holds a Master’s degree in Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her graduate thesis, "Exploring Multimedia Storytelling as a Novel Tool to Inspire Americans to Participate in Wildlife Conservation," sought to combat wildlife crime with compassion. With the plight of the pangolin at the center of her investigation, she examined ways in which Indigenous knowledge and cultural mythology could be leveraged to enrich scientific research and understanding.

Megan works remotely as the Digital Marketing Coordinator for Natural Habitat Adventures, the world's first 100% carbon-neutral travel company and official conservation travel partner of World Wildlife Fund (WWF). As Marketing Lead for Nat Hab’s Women's Journeys program, she empowers women on global eco-adventures to experience nature and return home as ambassadors for conservation.
