“I have always wondered what it would be like to discover a totally different world, lifeless, full of wild landscapes and to photograph it for the first time - as if I was Ansel Adams.”

Julien Mauve is a young photographer based in Paris, and we directly fell in love with him, particularly for his series “Greetings from Mars”.

In the wonderful landscapes of the US Wild West, Julien Mauve imagined the normal reaction when human beings would take their first steps on Mars. The result: incredible photographs filled with subtle humour that are a lot closer to reality than you might think on first impression, as Mauve is reproducing touristic stereotypes of today in the world of tomorrow.
