Matan Hadad is a fine-art landscape photographer and avid mountaineer whose work springs from a deep, personal bond with the world around him. From the turquoise shores of Costa Rica and the wind-sculpted peaks of Alaska to remote corners on every continent, his journeys have shaped both his vision and his understanding of place. As a high-school physics and earth-sciences teacher, he brings a rigorous scientific eye to every frame—capturing the precise moment when light reveals nature’s hidden textures and colors. His authentic, unfiltered photographs aim to awaken curiosity, inspire reflection, and build an intimate bridge between viewer and landscape.

Vision & Approach

For Matan, photography is more than documentation—it’s an authentic dialogue between the human spirit and the planet’s vast beauty. He seeks out moments of dramatic contrast and quiet stillness alike: early-morning mist weaving through ancient forests, alpenglow melting into a glassy lake, desert sands sculpted by wind. By presenting scenes exactly as they appear and printing them to museum-quality standards, he preserves each image’s emotional core and invites you to step into a space of wonder, connection, and lasting inspiration.
