Autumn Morning Mist, Wairepo Arm, Lake Ruataniwha, Mackenzie, New Zealand
Known simply as Wairepo Arm, this lagoon is an ‘arm’ of the much larger Lake Ruataniwha near the town of Twizel in the Mackenzie district of New Zealand’s South Island.

Pantai Tanjung Layar, Sawarna, Java, Indonesia
Pantai Tanjung Layar in Sawarna, Java, is slowly becoming a hotspot for landscape photographers. It is a beautiful place to explore, with each session offering different light conditions and compositions.

Form and Void, Great Smokey Mountains, NC/Tennessee Border, USA
As an avid hiker and passionate photographer, it feels only natural that my most meaningful images are born on the trail. There’s something deeply intimate about making a photograph in the middle of a raw, unfiltered experience. Unless I’m on assignment, I rarely stop for the camera unless the scene moves me on some personal […]
Good Morning Forest, Pisgah, Morganton, Burke, USA
While walking my property in the morning, I took this picture of the sun breaking through the trees.
Dwelling in the Veil, Casciana Terme Lari, Pisa, Tuscany, Italy
Every time fog is forecast, I feel an irresistible call. It is not just the desire to take a photograph, but a deeper need: to lose myself in that suspended atmosphere, where the world hesitates between reality and dream. That morning, I left early, while the village was still asleep and the streets were deserted. […]
Iconic Lake Matheson, Fox Glacier, West Coast, New Zealand

Although it’s small—more like a pond—it offers a stunning view of New Zealand’s two largest mountains, Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. In photography circles, it is regarded as one of the world’s ten most photographed lakes, and for good reason. Visiting […]
An Unexpected Snowfall, Castelluccio di Norcia, Umbria, Italy
I usually go to the Catelluccio plain near Norcia in the summer, but that year I tried in February and was really lucky. The plain was completely covered in snow, and it was really hard to find a good spot. I saw another photographer in the distance and decided to join him. In that area, […]
A Foggy Beach Along The Oregon Coast, USA
On the beauty of the beach shrouded in gentle fog, I arrived in my car and left my shoes and socks beneath the steering wheel. I walked down to the beach, first navigating through the dry sand before reaching the wet sand. My toes curled into the soft, wet sand, leaving a faint trail behind […]
Sunrise With Mist, Crete Senesi, Tuscany, Italy
As I’ve written several times throughout the year, I often travel to the Lands of Siena. The last time I was there was late January. I was looking for new inspiration for my next workshop, but that morning, the air was shrouded in a very thick fog. I couldn’t see anything, so I decided to […]
Loch Cruite, Connor Pass, Dingle, Kerry, Ireland
I was hiking with a friend in the Connor Pass area, located east of Dingle in County Kerry, when a particular scene caught my eye. The lake is Loch Cruite, situated 200 meters above sea level and the largest of the Paternoster series of lakes on the slopes of Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second-highest mountain, at […]
