The Canary Islands are an archipelago of eight main islands in the Atlantic Ocean, known for their volcanic landscapes and remarkable colours. I explored Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, two neighbouring islands shaped by volcanic activity, erosion and wind.

In Lanzarote, I photographed volcanic craters, black lava fields and dramatic coastlines, from El Cuervo and La Geria to Famara Beach. Fuerteventura offered a different atmosphere, with vast sand dunes, rugged mountains and ancient volcanic landscapes around Calderón Hondo.
