Storm over the Andes hightlands. An exposed road, multiple lightning strikes cutting through the sky, and, in the distance, a snowstorm moving across the plateau during the altiplano winter. It’s one of those moments when the landscape makes it clear who’s in control. Weather shifts fast, light disappears, and the horizon becomes an unstable line between wind, ice, and electricity. Photographing there means accepting that tension, observing from a distance, and waiting for the brief moment when everything aligns. This image is about contrast. The violence of the lightning, the silence of the approaching snow, and the feeling of crossing a territory that was never meant to be tamed.
