Patrick Mueller is a Raleigh-based photographer drawn to capturing the atmosphere of places where the elements collide. His work is built on solo journeys, documenting the dramatic, rugged beauty of the northern world—from the aurora-lit peaks of Iceland and the misty forests of Madeira to the glacial valleys of the Dolomites.

Tracing the line between quiet isolation and elemental power, this collection is rooted in the world's most dramatic corners. It captures the primal atmosphere of Madeira's ancient forests, where mist rules the light, and the breathtaking, raw energy that defines the remote coastlines of the far north.

Whether finding stillness in a remote American canyon or capturing the energy of an ancient European center, Patrick’s photography is an invitation to witness the world through a cinematic and texture-rich lens.
