Plate iCordillera, first light2024
Landscape & Editorial Photographer
Tomás Rivera
Long walks, early alarms, and the minute the light changes.

Foreword
I photograph landscapes for magazines, tourism boards and the occasional brave brand. Most of my work starts with a map, a thermos and a 4:30am alarm.
Clients include Monocle, Condé Nast Traveller, Patagonia and the Chilean national parks service.
