Extravagant Silent Beauty of the Landscapes. Photos by Steve Landeros.

The photographer Steve Landeros skillfully captures the scenic beauty of the extravagant silent black-and-white landscapes. The author says that the interest in photography was awoken in him when he starteed admiring the beauty of San Francisco through the window of his own bedroom.

Learning photo art was done in a trial-and-error fashion. Steve Landeros often creates black-and-white photographs with slow shutter speeds, capturing seascapes and architecture. His inspiration are constant changes and variability of the surrounding elements.
