I've been sat on this since I shot it in September last year on Kinder Scout's northern edge, my favourite place in the whole of the Peak District. With the weather being equally as moody so far this July, I thought I'd publish it.
The day started out very sunny but bands of weather were forecast to sweep in from the north, which they did. These bands of weather brought with them some incredible dappled light and very dramatic looking skies.
The heather had well truly passed it's best in this part of High Peak, leaving the landscape in hues of coppery-brown, muted greens and pale yellows that provided a really Earthy palette complimenting the raw feeling that the elements had that day.

Desert has always been my passion, I love to play with its shadows, shapes and views it offers. Morocco has something additional to that - man in blue ! :-) I just love the contrast of the deep orange color of the sand and the bright blue color of the traditional local dress.
Morocco and especially Sahara desert with its very dark skies is perfect for seeing and also capturing the night sky with the glorious Milky Way. The sky in the desert is wonderfully dark with minimum light pollution, which gives a great sight, which you can also see in the :
► MOROCCO'S NIGHT SKY WITH MILKY WAY - Timelapse Video
This timelapse video offers night view at some iconic or less known locations in various parts of Morocco, might it be Sahara desert, Ksar Aït Benhaddou (UNESCO), High Atlas Mountains & Toubkal National Park or Telouet Kasbah along former caravan route from Sahara over Atlas Mountains to Marrakech.

Not to conquer, but to protect.
Not to dominate, but to defend what’s sacred.
He stands not for glory, but for grace.
His strength is measured not in how loud he roars,
but in how long he listens.
He does not seek battle,
but he will not abandon the gate.
He holds the line - not for power,
but for peace.
Because some things - truth, dignity, love -
are worth guarding with everything we are.
Exploring the rocky shores around Saint-Malo at low tide, I was captivated by this dramatic perspective of the famous corsair city under threatening skies. The retreating waters revealed these weathered granite formations that have witnessed centuries of maritime history, creating a perfect foreground for the imposing ramparts.
My intention was to capture Saint-Malo in its most authentic element - as a fortress built to withstand both human enemies and oceanic fury. The stormy atmosphere seemed fitting for this city that was home to pirates and privateers, while the dramatic lighting emphasized the robust stone architecture that has protected the inhabitants for over 800 years.
This image represents what draws me to Brittany's coast - these moments when weather and history converge to reveal the true character of these maritime strongholds. Saint-Malo wasn't built for fair weather tourism; it was forged by storms, sieges, and the relentless Atlantic. Sometimes the most compelling photographs of historic places emerge not on perfect blue-sky days, but during these moody moments when you can almost feel the weight of centuries.

A powerful studio portrait capturing a moment suspended between strength and vulnerability. The subject’s intense gaze, the textured curls, the shine of the patent coat, and the clutching hands all speak volumes — yet nothing is said aloud. Shadows and contrast elevate the emotional charge of the frame, making silence a central element of the story.
————————
Мощный студийный портрет, запечатлевший момент между силой и уязвимостью. Напряжённый взгляд, фактурные кудри, блеск лакированного пальто и сцепленные в кулаки руки — всё говорит за неё, но она молчит. Свет и тень придают снимку особую эмоциональную напряжённость. Молчание становится частью истории.
This life-sized figurative work by Virgil Ortiz represents one of the futuristic time-traveling characters from his Revolt 1680/2180 universe, showcasing his blend of Indigenous iconography, haute couture, and speculative science fiction.
Mask & Headpiece
The Mask: The figure wears a pale gold, serene mask featuring hollowed eyes, smooth facial contours, and raised geometric line work framing the cheeks and chin.
The Headdress: Surmounting the head is a complex crown layering stylized botanical or flame-like petals, topped with a circular sun-halo structure studded with spiked points around its perimeter.
Hooding: A textured, cowl-like collar wraps around the neck and frames the mask, bridging the ceramic or sculpted headpiece with the fabric regalia.
Costume & Garments
Metallic Textiles: The figure is draped in structured, metallic gold fabric with a shimmering cross-hatched weave that catches the gallery lighting.
Drapery: Layered robes fall diagonally across the torso, combining sleek modern tailoring with traditional ceremonial mantle draping.
Exhibition Staging
Multimedia Backdrop: The mannequin stands directly in front of a high-resolution projection wall displaying scene stills from the Revolt 1680/2180 film installation, showing other atmospheric, masked figures in a snowy/chalky landscape.
Lighting: Warm gallery illumination focuses on the central figure’s gold regalia, making it pop against the deep blues, cool whites, and dark tones of the video screen behind it.
In Virgil Ortiz’s futuristic Revolt 1680/2180 storyline, this figure represents a high-ranking spiritual commander—often aligned with the Aeronauts, Sirens, or the Spirit World Army.
Key Narrative Roles
Time-Traveling High Priest/Priestess: Draped in ceremonial gold robes with a sun-halo headdress, this character acts as a bridge between the spiritual and physical realms. In the Blindfall narrative, these high-level figures open time-portals to channel ancestral power and futuristic technology back to the 1680 Pueblo freedom fighters.
Guardian of Sacred Knowledge: The character's gold regalia and serene, mask-like visage signify leadership within the Pueblo resistance. They are responsible for protecting sacred clay, language, and cultural traditions from extinction across centuries.
High-Level Commander Staging: In the exhibit's immersive installation, these shrouded leaders oversee field units like the Blind Archers, Recon Watchmen, and Gliders as they maneuver through atmospheric battlegrounds.
The figure blends ceremonial Indigenism with high-fashion sci-fi, standing as a symbol of resilience, foresight, and sovereign power.

For more than twenty years, Virgil Ortiz (American, Cochiti Pueblo, b. 1969) has been developing Revolt 1680/2180, an expansive project that brings global attention to Po’pay, the Tewa leader who led the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 against Spanish occupation, and to the enduring strength of Pueblo culture.
Collaborating with lifelong friend Eric F. Garcia (American, b. 1968), the two artists spark a vital exchange: Pueblo and Spanish legacies weaving, colliding, and transforming through clay, imagery, and form—reclaiming the past and inviting us to witness the story reimagined, set ablaze with possibility. For the latest chapter, Continuum: Blindfall, First Strike, the two artists invite viewers into the epicenter of the Revolt.

The new mexico museum of art vladem contemporary, often just called the Vladem Contemporary by locals, stands as a vibrant, essential expansion of the New Mexico Museum of Art, offering Santa Fe and the wider Southwest a dedicated, state-of-the-art venue specifically designed to showcase the challenging, thought-provoking, and diverse world of contemporary art. It’s not just another gallery; it’s a dynamic cultural catalyst, firmly placing Santa Fe on the map as a serious destination for cutting-edge artistic expression, right alongside its historical charm.
The establishment of the new mexico museum of art vladem contemporary represents a pivotal moment for the New Mexico Museum of Art (NMMOA) and for Santa Fe itself. For decades, the NMMOA, housed in its iconic 1917 Pueblo Revival building on the Plaza, has been a beloved institution, a veritable treasure trove of New Mexico’s artistic legacy, stretching from the early 20th century to mid-century modernism. But, let’s be real, its historical architecture, while charming and significant, wasn’t exactly built for the scale, technology, or often unconventional demands of contemporary art. Think about it: massive installations, video art, performance pieces – they often need sprawling, adaptable spaces with high ceilings, controlled environments, and a certain industrial flexibility that a historic building just can’t easily provide. This was the fundamental “problem” that the Vladem Contemporary was designed to solve.

All you need is just the right amount of clouds for bit of color and not too much wind which somehow seem to be part of this dramatic location at all times.

Watching the sun rise or set over the sand dunes of Merzouga may be the most spectacular experience you have on your trip to Morocco. The Erg Chebbi, the name of these sand dunes, is said to have some of the highest dunes in Morocco. Indeed, the dunes and the desert wildlife are impressive.
The dunes of Erg Chebbi is a strikingly strange natural formation. On the top of the flattest area you could imagine, suddenly a long mountain of sand rises. This mountain is surrounded by flat and desolate nature on all sides, and you could end up wondering if it really is real. But so it is, even if its existence is so weird that it has given rise to lengeds and myths among the locals. One legend tells us that the dunes of Erg Chebbi were created by God as a punishment to the locals of nearby Merzouga after they refused to give shelter to a woman and her child during a local festival. A sandstorm came, and buried the village of Merzouga is it was then.
Morocco and especially Sahara desert with its very dark skies is perfect for seeing and also capturing the night sky with the glorious Milky Way. The sky in the desert is wonderfully dark with minimum light pollution, which gives a great sight, which you can also see in the :

Golden hour under the bridge as the sun breaks past Lower Manhattan. The deck’s lattice pulls you into the stone tower while the East River throws back ripples of warm light.
Il y a un moment où la musique cesse d'être quelque chose que l'on entend. Elle devient physique. Le souffle traverse le cuivre, les mains retiennent la tension, le visage se ferme. Tout le corps semble participer à l'effort. La note n'est plus seulement un son : elle devient une matière, quelque chose que l'on pourrait presque toucher. J'ai voulu photographier cet instant-là. Pas le musicien, pas le spectacle, mais ce qui se passe entre les deux...
EN There is a moment when music stops being something we simply hear. It becomes physical. Breath moves through the brass, hands hold the tension, the face tightens. The whole body seems to take part in the effort. The note is no longer just a sound: it becomes a kind of matter, something almost tangible. I wanted to photograph that moment. Not the musician, not the performance, but what exists between the two...
I recently upgraded my 50 to a 35; I can totally see now why so many people love this focal length! So great for documentary work. I can't wait to play around with it outside this summer:)
Thank you so much for taking the time to view my work! If you would like to see my latest project, it's featured here,
or you can read my interview with 121 Clicks, check out my WEBSITE or follow me on any of these sites as well:)
All the elements just came together for the perfect black and white exposure, the deep blue sky, the long shadows, the vapour trails, it all just fits! Hope you enjoy.

Turkey - Türkiye - Istanbul - Ancient Byzantium & Constantinople - Kiz Kulesi - Maiden's Tower - Leander's Tower - Tower lying on small islet located at southern entrance of Bosphorus strait 200 m from coast of Üsküdar - One of the best-known sights of Istanbul
This might be one of the most iconic locations in Istanbul, but I only visited there during my last trip. The weather conditions were absolutely terrible, super strong wind, super strong rain, very cold day. Luckily at the end we managed to hide behind one of the small coffee shops along the seashore. The result is way better than I could hoped for considering how awful the evening weather was. You simply never know and you should always try till the end. I would like to add that once we left the very fragile shelter, we got the most of the strong downpour and I got to the ferry so soaken wet as probably never in my life. Things we do love.. ups photography ;))

Europe - UK - England - Cornwall - St Michael's Mount - Karrek Loos yn Koos - the Mount - Tidal island 366 metres (400 yards) off the Mount's Bay united with the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water.
Getting up before 4AM after less than 4 hours of sleep is never easy (at least for me), however when you know that there is a wonderful place like this ahead of you, it makes a bit easier. Timing the tide at this place is the key and it was rather perfect situation as the tide peaked at the sunrise and retreave from then on, revealing more and more of the path ahead of you.

Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the great herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille or The Beuckle, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars. Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.
The steep, craggy north-eastern face of Stob Dearg forms the classic aspect of the mountain as seen from the Kings House Hotel, and constitutes the most direct route of ascent for climbers and scramblers. Buachaille Etive Mòr is separated from its sister mountain of Buachaille Etive Beag to the west by the valley of Lairig Gartain. To the east lies Glen Etive, which provides an alternative route of ascent, heading up steep grassy slopes to the summit of Stob na Bròige.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time - Aurora borealis - Northern light - Produced by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere
No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

Europe - Scandinavia - Norway - North of the Arctic Circle - Lofoten Island - Moskenes - Hamnoy - Hamnøy - Picturesque fishing village under fresh cover of snow during pink sunset
Guilty as charged - one of the most photographed locations on Lofoten, but I simply could not help myself, because if there is A place to stay in Lofoten, it surely must be these cabins which might look like those traditional fisherman cabins from outside... but they are no longer anything like that inside. Wonderful interior, very different from when we stayed there 10 years ago.

Isle of Skye - The Quirang is a fascinating rock formation on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. It is approximately two miles north west of Staffin and six miles south east of Rubha Hunish. The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
The Trotternish Ridge lies on Skye's northernmost peninsula known as Trotternish. The northernmost summit on this ridge is known as the Quirang which has a fantastic maze of pinnacles, cliffs and flat grass tables that were formed by an ancient landslide of biblical proportions. From below these cliffs look huge, upon closer inspection you find many intricacies - scree slopes provide entrances to reveal an intricate maze of deep chasms and huge rock walls.

This is favorite in my series When the Soul Speaks, a collection of emotive conceptual B&W child imagery. This particular image pays homage to Longfellow's legendary poem of the same title.
