About The Photographer
Peter Zajfrid is a well-respected and very passionate amateur landscape photographer based in the small town of Ruse in the Styria region of Slovenia, who loves capturing the beauty of this world through photography. He enjoys the outdoors and nature, and photography provides him with a medium to capture and share this with others. He especially loves creating images that portray the beauty of Slovenian Styria and its landscapes. Quality of light, for Peter, is the key factor and at the heart of his work. He enjoys the way light transforms the landscape momentarily, revealing cloudscapes, atmosphere, form and textures – he tries to capture that moment. He likes to explore the integration and effect of weather and the seasons on landscape, locally where he lives in Ruse and around the Styria region of Slovenia and when travelling further afield.
Below is a selection of 40 Peter Zajfrid’s landscape photographs from all over the Styria region of Slovenia. You can see more of his beautiful work on his Facebook page Peter Zajfrid Photo and on his website Peter Zajfrid, where he runs a photo blog which is well worth following and contains many more stunning landscape photos.
