About
I'm Mario Suclla, a landscape photographer living in Asturias, in the north of Spain.
About me
I grew up in Lima, Peru, a city of millions where nature felt far away. When I finished school, my parents bought me a camera and suggested a photography course. Not long after, it was stolen, and photography went on hold for years. When I finally bought a second-hand one, it clicked again straight away.
I lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for more than a decade. In December 2018 I moved to Europe and spent the next few years on the move. In 2024 I settled in eastern Asturias.
About my work
Most of my time with a camera is spent on the Cantabrian coast, around La Huelga and its arches, caves and tide pools. I look for a strong foreground of rock, texture or water, and for big waves, low tides, sunrise and weather that won't sit still.
I aim for natural color, highlights that keep their detail, and a result that feels like standing there. The photographers who drive me most are Marc Adamus and Alex Noriega.
Beyond the lens
Away from the coast, I work as a consultant for service businesses in the United States.
If a photograph here stays with you, I'd like to hear about it.
