"Mangistau – A Breathtaking Martian Landscape" – An otherworldly expanse where time stands still. Carved by nature, this surreal terrain evokes the feeling of walking on another planet - a place where Earth and Mars seem to converge. THOMAS MONSORNO Bolzano-based photographer Thomas Monsorno discovered his passion for photography growing up in the visually rich and inspiring culture of South Tyrol. Born in 1985 in Italy, his connection to nature and sports has shaped his artistic vision, capturing authentic moments of life—whether it’s an athlete running through a shadowy forest road or carving through powder in the mountains.
