Dramatic river bend with silky long exposure turquoise glacial water flowing around moss-covered fallen tree in lush green forest, Dranse River French Alps Fran — The Fallen Bridge

France

Dranse River, French Alps. That turquoise color is glacial melt—rock particles suspended in water creating this incredible color you can't fake in processing. Long exposure smooths the rushing spring flow while the moss-covered fallen tree and rocks stay sharp. Spring in the Alps is something special—everything green, rivers running hard, that unique glacial blue. Photo © copyright by Michael Schultz.

I'm Michael Schultz, an Alaska-born landscape and wildlife photographer whose company, Face The Outdoors, has been featured in National Geographic. Over 20 years of shooting Alaska taught me to read light, weather, and wildlife — and now I lead small-group workshops sharing what I've learned, from Lake Clark's coastal bears to the aurora in Fairbanks to the autumn Dolomites.

The images I capture in the field end up here — available as museum-quality fine art prints in sizes and finishes to suit any wall. ChromaLuxe® metal, Lumachrome/Trulife® acrylic, and archival papers, crafted with the same materials used in gallery and collector editions.
