as he walks through the lattice of light and stone, his shadow unfolds like a second body — angular, quiet, uninvited. the grid beneath him holds no direction, only repetition. in this boxed geometry of street and solitude, presence is just a darker echo.

Europe - UK - England - Cornwall - North Cornwall - Trebarwith Strand - Trebervedh Sian - The Strand - Vast cliffs, dark caves, fine golden sand and Gull rock, almost reminiscent of a dogs head emerging from Atlantic Ocean during moody evening
This shot is such a nice example that photos can be captured in whatever conditions. It was dark, cold, windy (luckily from opposite direction than the sea), rainy evening... If it was not for the meeting of old friend Adam Burton, that I wanted to see for some time, I would have stayed in my Camelot Castle Hotel, wondering its halls and sitting around the round table pretending to be King Arthur (or least his queen ;)) But because I had extra reason to go out, I went and had a great time with my friend while also taking some photos I'm happy with. Not your typical colorful sunset, but moody seascape shot that I like ;)

Middle East - Turkey - Türkiye - Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey - Antalya Province - Alanya - Alaiye - Beach resort city located on the Turkish Riviera below the Taurus Mountains - Historical town center & harbor with Lighthouse at Sunset - Dusk - Twilight - Night
Latest development in Turkey is not the most cheerful one. It is a country where I've been on many occasions, always having wonderful time while exploring this fascinating melting pot of cultures. I do hope there will be many more visits in the future, once the situation calms down and resolves in the best possible way. Lighthouse is a symbol of hope for many, as it always was a guiding light to safety of a harbour or as a warning sign on dangerous coast. May this photo of a lighthouse be symbol of the guiding light into safety from the stormy times that Turkey is experiencing now.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time
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.

**Prompt :**
Une exploratrice spatiale, jeune femme au regard intense et concentré, se tient immobile dans une forêt extraterrestre dense et bioluminescente. Elle porte une combinaison spatiale blanche légèrement usée, marquée par des traces d’expéditions passées, avec un casque transparent reflétant les lumières organiques environnantes. Son visage est éclairé par des reflets violets et magenta provenant de la végétation alien.
Face à elle, à quelques centimètres seulement, flotte une créature étrange, mi-amphibienne mi-éthérée, semblable à un axolotl cosmique. Son corps translucide pulse d’une lumière interne rose et violette, avec des filaments lumineux ondulant comme des méduses dans l’eau. Ses yeux brillent d’une intelligence mystérieuse, presque émotionnelle, fixant l’humaine dans un moment de tension silencieuse.
L’environnement est une jungle extraterrestre luxuriante, saturée de couleurs irréelles : feuillages pourpres, champignons luminescents, arbres élancés aux textures organiques et humides. De fines particules flottent dans l’air, captant la lumière comme une poussière d’étoiles. Le sol est humide, traversé par un ruisseau scintillant reflétant le ciel nocturne.
À l’arrière-plan, un immense astre bleu-gris domine le ciel, partiellement voilé par des nuages épais et dramatiques. L’atmosphère est chargée, presque électrique, suggérant un monde vivant et inconnu. Une légère brume flotte entre les arbres, accentuant la profondeur et la sensation d’immersion.
Éclairage cinématographique contrasté : lumière principale froide et lunaire venant de l’arrière, combinée à des sources lumineuses organiques chaudes issues de la flore et de la créature. Profondeur de champ réduite, focus net sur les deux sujets, arrière-plan légèrement flou avec bokeh bioluminescent.
Style hyperréaliste, rendu ultra détaillé 8K, textures précises (combinaison, peau, surfaces organiques), ambiance inspirée de la science-fiction contemplative. Composition équilibrée en face-à-face, tension narrative palpable, moment suspendu entre découverte et connexion.
Caméra : plan rapproché latéral, angle légèrement à hauteur des yeux, lent travelling avant.
Ambiance sonore suggérée : silence profond, léger bruissement organique, pulsations subtiles de la créature.

**Prompt:**
A young female space explorer stands perfectly still in a dense, bioluminescent alien forest. She wears a slightly worn white spacesuit, marked with subtle scratches and signs of previous expeditions. Her transparent helmet reflects the organic glow around her, casting shifting violet and magenta highlights across her focused, intense face.
Hovering just inches from her is a strange, otherworldly creature, resembling a fusion between an amphibian and a luminous cosmic entity, like a celestial axolotl. Its semi-translucent body pulses with internal pink and violet light, while delicate, glowing tendrils drift and ripple as if suspended in water. Its large, radiant eyes convey an uncanny intelligence, locked onto the explorer in a silent, charged moment of connection.
The environment is a lush extraterrestrial jungle, saturated with surreal colors: deep purple foliage, glowing mushrooms, towering organic structures with wet, textured surfaces. Tiny particles float in the air like stardust, catching the light. The ground is damp, crossed by a shimmering stream reflecting the alien sky above.
In the background, a massive blue-gray celestial body looms low in the sky, partially veiled by thick, dramatic clouds. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost electrically alive, hinting at a sentient ecosystem. A thin mist weaves between the trees, enhancing depth and immersion.
Cinematic lighting: a cool, moonlit backlight contrasts with warm, organic glows emitted by the flora and the creature. Shallow depth of field, razor-sharp focus on both subjects, with a softly blurred background filled with bioluminescent bokeh.
Hyperrealistic style, ultra-detailed 8K rendering, highly refined textures (fabric, skin, organic surfaces), inspired by contemplative science fiction. Balanced face-to-face composition, strong narrative tension, capturing a suspended moment between discovery and connection.
Camera: tight side profile shot at eye level, slow forward dolly movement.
Suggested sound design: deep silence, faint organic rustling, subtle rhythmic pulses from the creature.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Check out these latest one :
► POLAR NIGHT WITH NORTHERN LIGHT & MOON ECLIPSE IN ARCTIC NORWAY
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS BEYOND ARCTIC CIRCLE, SWEDEN
► ARCTIC NIGHT & NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER FROZEN SWEDEN
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.

soft opening. new studio. two lenses, one question: how close can you get before a face becomes landscape? testing the sigma 135mm f/1.4 art on leica sl3 against the sony 135mm f/1.8 gm on a7rv. the verdict will come - blog review and video are in the works. but some answers don’t need pixels or charts. they’re in the pores, the light caught in an iris, the terrain of years written into skin. proximity is not intimacy. intimacy is what remains when you strip away the safe distance. first frames from a new chapter.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - Scotland - St Monans - Village in the East Neuk of Fife named after the legendary Saint Monan - Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Path - Breakwater can be found at end of the harbour captured at high tide
As is usual in Scotland, we had our share of really bad weather with lots of rain and gale strong wind, however this particular night was the opposite - clear blue sky, and not a single movement on the sea... I would have wished for bit more dramatic conditions here but I guess we cant always have it all ;) At least the tide was at its highest during sunset, which is a must for this shot. Unfortunately it was mid way between the New Moon and Full Moon meaning that high tide is at its lowest. If you wanna shoot at this location, you need high tide at its highest, that would add another 1m of water which would completely hide the concrete at the bottom.

A two-lane highway cuts straight through the sagebrush flats of the American West, vanishing into the heart of a building supercell. The storm dominates two-thirds of the frame — dark anvil clouds pushing skyward on the left while a curtain of rain or dust veils the right side in warm ochre haze. A lone rocky butte on the horizon grounds the scene, dwarfed by the atmospheric drama unfolding above it. The light is cinematic and tense, the kind that makes you press the accelerator and reach for your camera at the same time.

A group of Maori warrior performers executes a powerful haka on a black sand beach at sunset, their expressions fierce and unified as waves crash behind them under a dramatic golden sky
This was started in Night Cafe. I then put it into Photoshop, where used Camera Raw to enhance clarity, color, and tone.

Love doesn’t vanish.
It folds itself into the corners of things -
a scent, a song, the way light hits the floor at 4PM.
Loss is loud at first.
It rearranges the furniture,
leaves the windows open,
scatters the pages you meant to keep.
But love is patient.
It waits in the silence,
in the rituals you didn’t know were rituals
until they were gone.
And when you choose it again -
not because it’s easy,
but because it’s true -
that’s the win.
Not the kind with applause.
The kind with breath.
With grace.
With the quiet knowing:
you loved,
you lost,
and still,
you love.

A timeless silhouette rising from the mist.
In black and white, the soul of Mont-Saint-Michel reveals itself—raw, dramatic, and eternal.
Where stone meets sky, and light carves history into every shadow.
he walked with hands in his coat pockets, steady, unfazed by the wind. i watched him from the promenade in can pastilla, where chairs were still flipped and the season hadn’t started yet. he didn’t stop. didn’t hesitate. i framed him right between the rows of straw umbrellas, like a character from a film with no ending. the beach was waiting, and so was the sea.

Landscape photography often rewards patience more than planning. This image was created during a period of rapidly changing weather when dense cloud cover obscured much of the surrounding landscape. For a brief moment, the clouds parted, allowing shafts of sunlight to reach the mountainside and lake below.
The composition uses the winding path as a visual guide, inviting the viewer into the scene while emphasizing the scale of the landscape beyond. The contrast between the darkened foreground, the illuminated slopes, and the dramatic cloud formations creates a sense of tension and balance that reflects the constantly changing nature of mountain environments.
This work explores the relationship between weather, light, and place—capturing a fleeting moment that existed for only a few seconds before disappearing back into shadow.

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.
Those of you that think that you'll come to Isle of Skye and you'll be welcomed by light like this, might be disappointed. You can get your share of rain rather than this wonderful light. Even thought the plan was to hike for one whole day around Quirang, the reality was that due to the weather condition we had only one early morning with such a wonderful light. I nearly didn't have enough strength to get out of bed after several days of late night shooting and early mornings. Mind you that sunset is around 11PM and sunrise around 4AM in June, you can imagine how much sleep you get when always try to capture the best light. Landscape photography is not an easy job, but with results like this it is definitely worth it.
