Valle De La Luna, San Pedro De Atacama, Chile
When visiting Chile a few years ago, we decided to explore the country from top to bottom. That meant visiting the Atacama Desert in the north and Torres del Paine in the south. One of our first trips in the Atacama Desert was a visit to Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon), around […]

Welcome Party, White Pocket, Arizona, USA
This image invites viewers into the heart of Arizona’s geological wonders. Taken during moonlight, two towering rock formations rose before my eyes like sentinels under a textured desert sky, flanking a winding sandstone path that drew my eye inward.

Desert Arches, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, USA
Hiking in the backcountry at Valley of Fire can be very rewarding if you are prepared. Don’t try it after 10 AM in summer, or you are likely to regret it! The arches and caves are inviting, but a simple photo is not good enough. Use a wide-angle lens and scramble right up to it. […]
A desert In Bloom, Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia
Sossusvlei is a salt and clay pan situated within Namibia’s Namib-Naukluft National Park, recognised as part of the world’s oldest desert. This area experiences rare and unpredictable rainfall, which temporarily transforms the landscape into a vibrant oasis—a true desert in bloom. However, the water evaporates quickly, leaving behind a mosaic of dried mud patterns.

Desert Foothills, Beaverhead Mountains, Salmon, Idaho, USA
Just traveling through the area, with many more miles to drive that day, I decided to do a quick morning shoot in the foothills above town. I had been here many times before and thought I would be shooting from the road. Without giving it much thought, I put on flip-flops for the day. Arriving […]
