Wilson Tavares — Nature & Landscape Photography in Angola
Chasing light across Angola and beyond — skies, coastlines, and quiet places around the world — in awe of creation.
I was born in Angola, in Southern Africa — a country with so many beautiful places that I can't help but feel lucky. I discovered photography as a young man while exploring them, and my friends started calling me The Nature Lover.
As I grew, that love widened beyond forests and coastlines to everything in the universe — the stars, the moon, the sun, the planets. The more I look through the lens, the more evident the creation and its great Creator become to me. My faith is that the earth will one day become a paradise again.
Angola is home and my greatest muse, but my camera travels with me everywhere — on holidays and on work trips alike, I seek out unique and exclusive corners of the world, from misty European coastlines to landscapes far beyond, and bring a piece of each one back with me.
“For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship.”
Romans 1:20

Light That Will Not Hold Still
Some things a photograph cannot carry — the way water folds, the way a city switches on, the slow red of an eclipse. These are the ones that needed to move.
