I was particularly excited for this trip, not only would it be my first time into the Southern Hemisphere, but my first time going somewhere with virtually no light pollution – and I was not disappointed! You could see the Milky Way perfectly clear, it was truly breathtaking. An astrophotographers dream!

As we were backpacking and doing a lot of hiking, I had to keep my gear to a minimum, so rather than my usual full frame set up I used a crop censor Sony a6000. Paired with my Samyang 14mm and Sigma 35mm Art lens it still did a great job of documenting the whole journey – from Cusco, the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu, the Rainbow Mountain and the near by Red Valley (which by the way is totally underrated), through the Salt Flats of Uyuni, the Red Lagoons, Pink Flamingoes, sand dunes in Huacachina and finally seeing lazy Sea Lions on a boat tour in Paracas. We did a saw so much on this trip and I would absolutely recommend doing both Peru and Bolivia to anyone interested in visiting South America.

For 29 years of my life I had never visited Asia, so when I started dating a girl from China I couldn’t wait to visit her family and see a side of the world totally new and unfamiliar to me. One of the most photogenic places I visited in the Sichuan region of China was the Jiezi Ancient Town in Chongzhou Shi.

​One thing I loved about China was the buzz around the towns and cities. Shops and food stalls remained open late at night,  people and cyclists roamed the streets, and colourful lights shined on the rain soaked floor. Jiezi town is truly a photographers dream.

This is just a small selection of the shots I got whilst travelling around Panama. An incredibly beautiful and visual part of the world; with a massive contrast from the old, tattered parts of the cities to the large scale, modernistic urban areas with intimidating structures, along with a even bigger contrast to the vast tropical forests around the rural landscapes.

This was my second visit to New York in my life, the first visit was back in 2009. 

Ever since my childhood, I’ve fantasized about living in “The City that Never Sleeps”. Something about it’s huge Gothic architecture, old buildings covered in street art, diverse mix cultures and its arty modernism has always been very appealing to me. 

On my first visit to NYC, I ticked off many of the main tourist destinations such as the Statue of Liberty, which was cool but seven years later I was more interested in discovering less obvious parts of the city to visit.

We stayed in the hipster central part of Brooklyn, Bushwick, which was filled with art, music, cinemas, great food and lots of trendy young people. Our apartment in a converted old warehouse had a roof terrace with a perfect view of Manhattan.

I really enjoyed our visit there. New York people have a reputation of being rude and impatient but we found everyone we spoke to to be polite and very helpful. Hope to see you again New York!
