The love for nature’s beauty
by Ronen Golan
“I keep returning to the Alps, the Himalayas, the Pyrenees, and the greater Caucasus to hike and climb.
Through photography, I share the beauty of these wild places with others and make people realize we must preserve nature. With my experience in outdoor pursuits, I have teamed up with a great group of experts who organize trekking and mountain biking trips to some of the world’s most beautiful, remote mountain regions.
Together we aim to show the beauty of nature to a wide range of people, including those with disabilities.”
In 1983, when I was 18 years old, I first went abroad. It was a hiking trip to northern Italy’s Alps and the Dolomites.
I took with me my dad’s old camera and started to photograph. Since a very early age, I was drawn to nature, particularly mountains.
Mountains have always been a source of awe and inspiration for me. Combining mountaineering with photography came very naturally. Being up there among the giants of our world makes me feel alive and pushes me to explore these high regions.
It was a great joy to stand and be among these gorgeous mountains that I could only see in pictures before. Ten years later, I climbed alpine peaks in Switzerland, Italy, and France.

“My love for outdoor photography began at an early age.
As a child, I enjoyed exploring the hills around the town where I grew up, looking at mountain pictures in books, and dreaming of going to these high places. I spent a few weeks walking in the Alps and Dolomites mountains in Northern Italy at eighteen years old, where I started my photography journey.
Later, I studied photography and graduated from the Camera Obscura School of Art in Israel.
Mountains and deserts have become my main and favorite destinations for photography.”
