Minimalist Seascapes on the Belgian Coast
The last year or so, my photography has slowly drifted towards a more minimalist style. I have had my phases of long exposure seascapes many times through the years, but this time the urge to simplify is more profound and not limited to seascapes. Instead of grand vistas in golden hour, I have tried to…

The lost sketchbook of Indiana Jones: Photographing Angkor, Cambodia
Rumors say that Mahatma Gandhi once was asked what he thought about western culture and civilization. Known for his quick and sharp tongue, he allegedly replied: “Oh, that would be a good idea!”. Whether he actually said that is debated, but the quote really puts Western arrogance into perspective. Being a history nerd myself, I…

My new gear for handheld, improvised photography: Nikon Z7II with Nikkor Z 24-200mm.

Fall-colors usually peak in mid-september, and it is always a pleasure to photograph colorful mountain-birches with snow-covered peaks as a backdrop. This year I might have been a week too late, as peak colors definitely was…

Photographing spring in Tuscany
I have always loved to photographed pastoral, cultural landscapes. Old barns, winding roads and fields of flowers have a strong visual appeal to me, and bring feelings of times long gone. No wonder then, that Tuscany is one of my favorite areas to photograph. I have been fortunate to visit several times for photography and…

Mosquitoland
I don’t know if you have ever been to North-Norway, or even are planning a trip there. But in case you are, you should know this: Visiting during the summer months involves a very high risk of being in constant war with the fierce creatures somewhat erroneously called mosquitoes. We are not talking about the…
