SUMMER : INCOMING // looking forward to plenty more golden mornings like this at the lake. Its been an extremely wet start to the season here in Bavaria but its looking like it will finally start to heat up again soon. @matej_kurzweil and I opened up the SUP season at the end of April and the con...

Forest details. Theres a whole other world to discover if you just look down. Love slowing down from time to time and appreciating the tiny miracles emerging around us. Celina and I became garden owners last July and it definitely gave us a new appreciation for what grows (wanted or not!) if you ...

Theres a photographer getting chased by a group of monkeys down there! Thats what Celina heard from another group of tourists as I was getting the first shot in this series (she knew straight away that it was her photographer that they were talking about ). Luckily no photographers or monkeys wer...

IGNITE // One of those sundowners where the clouds looked as if theyd been set alight Missing those warm evenings on the coast, but also looking forward to my favourite time of year here in the Alps.

Some unshared moments from a beautiful solo autumn morning in the dolomites. Morning glow, light shifts and a well deserved (albeit rather light) breakfast! #dolomites #dolomiti #cinquetorri

THE PAYOFF // savouring the rewards after a gruelling hike up in the dark in deep snow. We massively underestimated the time we would need to get through the snow and missed sunrise, but still came away with some nice drone content. This lake is well known for its autumn dress but Ive seen few sh...

Pretty wild how rivers in Iceland look from above. We came across what looked like a pretty ordinary stream out in the highlands and were mesmerised once we threw the birds up. Im in the market for a new drone for photography after my trusty Mavic 2 Pro finally met its maker. Whos got a recommend...

One road, three perspectives. Which is your favourite?

Clarity through the chaos. Really happy how this one turned out. I wanted to try to catch a shot like this in camera (no motion blur added in post) and spent one evening in Thailand giving it a try. Slowed the shutter to 1/40 sec to get some nice blur and then used trial and error panning along a...

Some unshared moments from a crisp autumn morning a few months back. There are few things I enjoy more than hiking in the early hours of the day and watching the world wake up around you. Its definitely hard to set that early alarm but its almost always worth it. How many sunrises have you been a...

Spectacular temples in the Phang Nga Bay area in Thailand. Enjoyed the intricate architecture, watching the monks come and go, and observing the local people visiting to pay their respects. Although Im not religious myself (and often think that a world without religion would almost certainly be a...

Id been craving the energy of creating something together. When @the.breathless.adventurers hit me up to say that he and @foilonly would be in the area in case I would like to join their shoot it was a no-brainer. The weather was perfect and it was fun to watch the guys do their thing, both in fr...
