Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni: A Photographer’s Dream Destination


Before I was shooting studio portraits and sports events, I was chasing landscapes—quietly, patiently, just me and my camera.



Back in 2011, I took a trip to Bolivia that changed everything. One stop in particular stuck with me: Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat.



Nothing compares to seeing it in person.



Endless reflections, cracked white salt stretching for miles, and a horizon that blurs sky and earth. At the time, I didn’t have the gear I have now, but some of my favorite landscape shots still came from that trip. Bolivia gave me an early taste of how photography could slow time down and turn a scene into something you could feel later.



If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it—for photographers and travelers alike. No filters needed.
