Solomon Foray (born 1978, Nice, France) is an internationally-published photographer currently based in Vienna. He is fascinated with documenting the most remote parts of the world from above.

His work has been featured by organizations such as Wanderer, Travelust, Outdoor Photographer, Far & Wild, and others.

 The predominant theme in Foray's work is nature transformed by human and natural processes. Using an aerial vantage point, his large-scale photographs are rich in detail and vast in scale, sometimes verging on the appearance of painterly abstractions. Recent projects include Coasts, Transport, Industry and Fields and Plains.

By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, Lovrenco investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.

His photos establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence.
