Beach 🏖️ or mountains ⛰️? Why choose? 😏 There’s Beach 🏖️ or mountains ⛰️?

Why choose? 😏

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a sunrise by the ocean. But having the beach, the waves AND massive mountains right behind you? 🤤🤤 
That’s pretty hard to beat.
Cape Town really knows how to combine the best of both worlds. 🌊⛰️❤️

It’s this time of the year again… almost 😅🫠 Still It’s this time of the year again… almost 😅🫠

Still one of my favorite series I’ve ever shot in New York. And crazy to think these photos were taken almost 10 years ago.

I remember being completely soaked, literally down to my underwear, walking through the city in the pouring rain with my camera. But looking at these shots today, I’d say it was absolutely worth it.

And btw, cameras weren’t quite as weather-sealed back then as they are today. 😂

I’m a photographer. I’ve always seen myself much m I’m a photographer. I’ve always seen myself much more as a photographer than a content creator, and definitely not as a filmmaker.

And yet, over the years, I’ve had the chance to work on some pretty amazing film projects as well. This was one of them.

A few years ago, my friend @formgestalter and I were commissioned by Karwendel Tourism to capture an entire year through both photography and film. Four seasons, four completely different moods, and one beautiful region changing with every few months.

Today, I was outside and for the first time it really felt like summer was slowly coming to an end. I actually wanted to post our autumn film already… but technically, it’s still summer. So this one gets one last moment. ☀️

A little goodbye to summer.

And in a few days, I’ll take you into autumn. 🍂
I can still feel the heat. Hear the explosions. Fe I can still feel the heat. Hear the explosions. Feel the ground shaking beneath my feet.😮‍💨

For days, I stood at the edge of an active volcano somewhere in the middle of the South Pacific back in 2019. Every 15 minutes, the earth seemed to explode in front of me. Lava shooting into the night sky, glowing rocks flying through the air, and nothing between me and the crater. Just a camera in my hands and one of the wildest forces of nature I’ve ever witnessed.

I’ve never shared these images before. I honestly don’t even know why. But looking at them today, I realized something: I might travel the world for the rest of my life and never experience anything quite like this again. 🌋🔥🤯
Sometimes it doesn’t need a big edit or a whole se Sometimes it doesn’t need a big edit or a whole series of images.

Sometimes it’s just that one frame that takes you right back.
To the sound, the feeling, the atmosphere. The magic of being there.

And suddenly, all you want is to go back. 🇮🇸😮‍💨
Let summer wind down here. 🙏🏻❤️ How amazing would Let summer wind down here. 🙏🏻❤️
How amazing would that be? A glass or two of Aperol, friends, some delicious pizza, and sunsets like these over Lake Garda in the evening. 😮‍💨

Oh, and I highly recommend the last slide. 😂😜

Apparently, I’m a content creator… but all I wanna Apparently, I’m a content creator… but all I wanna do is take photos. 😩📸

This weekend made me realize again how little time I actually spend doing the thing I love most: going outside and taking photos.

Being self-employed in the creative industry means doing everything. Accounting, emails, office work, finding new clients, planning projects, creating video content, editing reels, social media… and somewhere in between all of that, you’re supposed to find the time to actually be creative.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s all part of the job. But sometimes I really miss the simplicity of just grabbing my camera, heading outside and taking photos.

Because at the end of the day, that’s still what I love most. ❤️📸
