Buckskin Gulch, Kane County, Utah, USA
A significant portion of the state of Utah in the United States sits on the Colorado Plateau. The plateau is a geologic feature that has been uplifted as high as 10,000 feet above sea level and consists of sedimentary rock layers that are 270 million years old. The major rivers in the region, such as […]
Snow Desert Between Seasons, Hadsund, Mariagerfjord, Denmark
I went out with a clear intention. I wanted to capture the very last snow of winter in sunlight and calm weather before it disappeared into mild winds and muddy fields. This does not happen every year in Denmark. Clear skies, deep frost, and still air rarely align at the right moment. That morning, they […]
Dune 45, Sossusvlei, Namibia
A family trip with our two kids, lasting six weeks, overlanding in a purpose-built truck from Capetown to Victoria Falls via Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. We camped overnight in a group circle of tents, and this was the scene that greeted us at a well-known landmark, Dune 45, first thing in the morning. The colours […]
Camel Thorns Of Dead Vlei, Sossusvlei, Namibia
The camel thorns of Dead Vlei began to grow in this clay pan after the Tsauchab River flooded hundreds of years ago. Although they eventually died, their skeletons did not decompose or petrify. The intense sun and dry climate have preserved these skeletal remains, creating a breathtaking scene for photographers. Capturing a unique image that […]
Golden Desert, Antuyo, Peru
In August 2018, we travelled to Peru and Bolivia as members of an organised trip. Peru features a 1,555-mile (2,500 km) long, narrow desert strip along its Pacific coast, making up about 10% of the country and acting as one of the driest places on Earth. For that trip, I carried two identical Olympus cameras, […]
Santa Luce Lake, Tuscany, Italy
This photograph, taken last summer, depicts a lake in the Pisan countryside. The extraordinary thing is that it was the first time I had witnessed such an incredible drought, partly due to the intense heat. This photo is unique and illustrates the damage that drought can cause.
Desert Prism, Peralta Trail, Gold Canyon, Maricopa, Arizona, USA
While tracking monsoonal thunderstorms through Arizona’s Superstition Mountains, I witnessed a fleeting convergence of power and color. A vibrant rainbow arced across the desert sky just as a towering wall of dust advanced toward us, driven by fierce outflow winds. The calm between gusts lasted only moments. Working quickly to secure my tripod before the […]

The Piper At The Gates, Bell Rock, Sedona, Arizona, USA
This image, The Piper at the Gates, was born from patience and preparation. Bell Rock, located in Sedona, Arizona, was scouted multiple times at sunrise before I returned during a stormy sunset, when clouds gathered beneath the Mogollon Rim and the atmosphere transformed the landscape into something altogether more dramatic. I have learned that great […]
Rhub Al Khali Desert, Oman
I spent wonderful days in the Rub’ al Khali desert in Oman. This desert exceeded all my expectations. I had never seen such beautiful dunes in any other desert before. After spending a few days taking wide-angle shots and panoramas, I wanted to focus on more detail. Using a short telephoto lens, I tried to […]
