Photography: Statue below Musee Du Louvre by photographer Brian Jannsen
“Artistically, I feel like I'm taking God’s creation and trying my best to capture little snippets of it that can hopefully convey some of its amazing beauty,” he says. “The colors of nature, changing seasons, huge mountains, still lakes, small streams, waterfalls … there is so much to this earth. It's hard for me not to be inspired.”
