💭 For a long time I thought my photos were flat because I needed better gear. A better lens. Better light. Better locations.
🚫I was wrong.🚫
💯 The real reason had nothing to do with equipment and everything to do with how we experience a scene before pressing the shutter.
🎥 I just published a new video breaking down an alternative way to think about physical and emotional depth in photography, through space, light, colour, focal length, and intuition.
❓️If you’ve ever felt like your images look “correct”… but not alive… this one might resonate.
For the next video, I’ll be sharing my experience review of the TTArtisan 35mm f/1.8 "orange pop".
While shooting with this lens, we also filmed a follow-me type of video where you see me shooting in the streets of London while I explain my thought process on the spot: why I chose each location, how I approached each scene, and what I was thinking before pressing the shutter.
Would you be interested in watching that kind of behind-the-scenes video?
Hello everyone! I want to thank all of you. I didn’t expect this level of response to the 35mm vs 50mm video. So many thoughtful comments, personal stories and perspectives. This is exactly the kind of discussions I hoped it would start.
If you’ve already watched and commented: thank you for taking the time.
If you haven’t seen it yet have a look and I am looking forward to read your thoughts in thee comments.
I’m still going through all the comments and replying as much as I can.
In the meantime here are some resent shots that were discussed in the video.

Iceland has been on my mind for years.
A place shaped by fire, ice, and weather that never really asks for permission.
A few days ago I finally arrived, camera bag on my shoulder, not entirely sure what to expect.
The scale of this landscape is difficult to describe. Everything feels bigger, wilder, and a little unpredictable.
This video is the beginning of the journey. And every beginning starts at home. With all the decisions that will shape everything that follows.
Over the next few episodes I’ll be sharing the full adventure, the photographs, and the lessons learned along the way.
If you’d like to come along for the ride, the first episode is now live on YouTube.

Iceland has been everything that I imagined and more...except Northern Lights. I've seen no Northern lights, yet!
Here are some phone snaps to give you an update as to how things are going.
And the adventure continues...See you soon!

I’m working on a new video that completely reframes how we think about depth in photography, both physical and emotional.
Here are a few recent frames from London.
More soon.

Hello everyone!
I’ve just published my experience review of the TTArtisan 35mm f/1.8 (Orange) — and it was an intresting one!
Although this is a 35mm lens on my Fuji APS-C it come closer to a classic 50mm.
If you care more about process than perfection, this one might be for you!

Ever felt like you don’t have “the photographic eye”? I’ve been there too.
In this new video we reflect on why it’s not about talent, but about awareness and how learning to see differently changes everything.

Alright! I’m officially back after the two-week holiday break.
I’ll try to catch up on all the amazing comments I haven’t replied to yet today, and a new video is coming out later this week.
I’m really excited for another year of photos, videos, and creativity and I hope you are too!
Here are a few recent fog shots I took a few days ago. 🌫️📷
