A series born from my wanderings through the Súľov mountains where I grew up. Each autumn, enchanting mists settle in the valleys, and walks along the ridges and viewpoints take on a completely different, almost magical atmosphere.

About Artist

Lubomir Drapal

I'm a photographer based in Považská Bystrica, Slovakia, with a deep passion for analog photography and everything that surrounds it — the darkroom, red light, the distinctive smell of chemicals, and the quiet magic of watching an image slowly appear on paper in a tray of developer. I focus mainly on mountain and landscape detail photography, capturing moments from my journeys through Slovakia, Iceland, Nepal, and Patagonia. I shoot exclusively on a medium format Mamiya RB67 using Ilford and Bergger films, staying true to the timeless charm of film photography.
