Watch on YouTube: "Day four in Sarek. 15 kilometres behind me today and still about the same ahead. My knees and my back are done. I did get some great pictures along the way, though. I'm really glad I came." Those lines come from my notebook, written somewhere in the middle of Sarek National Park in Swedish Lapland. The camera in my pack on that trip was a Lumix GX8, a Micro Four Thirds body I've since sold, but the system is still the one I rely on today. I think that note

Watch on YouTube: A flat blue-sky forecast almost kept me home this weekend. Instead, it turned into one of my most productive hikes of the summer ! The hike / the journey The trail up is steep and quite exposed, but it rewards you with 360-degree views over the surrounding iconic peaks. Plus, the other side of the ridge is covered in dramatic rock formations overlooking a ravine — that's what I really came to scout. With the biggest rock formation still catching light, I gra

Watch on YouTube: After weeks of brutal back-to-back heatwaves kept me off the trails, I finally got out scouting again — as I do most summers. But this video isn't just about the hike. It's about a problem every landscape photographer eventually runs into, and the app I ended up building to solve it. The scouting problem As a landscape photographer who isn't shooting full-time, you rarely get to choose to go out when the light is right. And in the summer, sunrises comes earl

Watch Part 3 on YouTube: There was one shot this trip owed me. On the first rainy day, I'd turned back from a towering blade of rock — the Lame de Facibelle — before I could photograph it. So naturally, the last day in the area, I went back to finish the job. The blade of rock It's an intimidating thing to frame: the rock blade rises insanely high, while the little waterfall at its foot is tiny and off to one side. The only way to fit it all was my widest lens, the Laowa 9mm,

Watch Part 2 on YouTube: After the rain of the first day, the skies finally turned, and the trip opened up into something else entirely. Not far from my basecamp lies a landscape that still doesn't look quite real to me: the Terres Noires — the "black earth" — badlands of dark, crumbling marl folded into ravines and canyons. From a distance the hills look almost burnt, dark against the green pines and the pale summits behind. I set out one evening to hike through them and cha

Watch Part 1 on YouTube: Some trips announce themselves gently. This one arrived in a downpour. I had a four-day long weekend and a simple studio booked a few hours south of home, in the Barles country of Haute-Provence — a corner of the French Alps I'd been wanting to explore properly. I'd pictured mountain hikes. What I got, at least to begin with, was rain. But rain isn't the enemy of landscape photography that people think it is. So when I passed a dramatic roadside canyo

Watch on YouTube: This is the third and final chapter of my solo road trip through Arctic Norway — and if you followed Part 1 and Part 2, you already know the weather had its own ideas. By this point I'd driven to a new stretch of coastline, and the forecast was, once again, relentless rain. So I did the only sensible thing: I leaned into it. Chasing light on the coast I started to spend the day driving the coast and stopping wherever a burst of light broke through — long exp

Watch on YouTube: This is Part 2 of my solo road trip through Arctic Norway. If you caught Part 1, you'll remember it rained almost the whole time — so waking up on this second morning to actual sunshine felt like a small miracle. I spent the entire day working my way along the coast: rock slabs sliding into the sea, tidal pools holding perfectly still water, and mountains trailing me from one stop to the next. A morning on the coast My first stop was all about reflection. Th

Watch on YouTube: I'd been teasing this trip for a few videos, and here it finally is: two weeks in Norway. The plan was simple: give the entire first week to photography, chase whatever conditions the far north decided to hand me, and stop pretending I had any say over the weather. Spoiler: the weather had plans of its own... Hitting the road in the rain I landed, picked up a rental car, and pointed it north toward a remote stretch of Arctic Norway. For the first few days, t

Watch on Youtube: A different kind of outing Some of the best photography days don't start at a trailhead. This one started behind the wheel. I drove through the hills around home more times than I can count — and this place is one of those areas you pass on the way to somewhere bigger and never actually stop in. This time I did. Just a slow drive along small roads through forests and fields, looking for a pull-off and a view over the bigger mountains beyond, just a short mel
