From portraits to macro-style closeups, Felipe Prieto has long put his lineup of Tamron lenses through their paces. The Philly photographer has also been known to try his hand at nature travel photography, including on two recent trips to Iceland and the Falkland Islands, an archipelago nestled deep in the South Atlantic. “My goal was to capture the wilderness of both regions,” Felipe says.
