“Dare to take on slightly more challenging tasks than you think you can handle. Setting a high standard for yourself and saying yes to tasks you find slightly frightening builds confidence over time and improves your problem-solving abilities.”

“I’m lucky enough to have a fantasy that gives me ideas while shooting and editing. Photography, for me, is not only about composition and the rules but a blast of inspiration captured through my camera. Everything happens in my mind, where I imagine, capture, and edit a photograph.”

“For my photography, it’s key to reconstruct the “relationship” with a place, search for profoundness, and reconnect with nature, with the flow. When I shoot and look for compositions, it’s as if I’m looking for a part of me that lives in that place.”

“After I finished shooting that day, I turned my camera off and sat there looking at this incredible place taking it all in as I knew it would be the last time I would see it for a while – new adventures were waiting for me and I could finally take the trip I had planned several years ago and I was supposed to do during the Covid years.”

“My way of translating stories of businesses or people to visuals comes from my education in Communication Design, who I am, and my experiences.

“When I edit my photos I always try to transcribe as much as possible the poetry that the subject provokes within me. When I look at a photo, I like that it escapes me, soothes me, and reminds me of good memories.”

“Traveling alone has really taught me the value of doing things for yourself. I have lived alone before and that teaches you the value of doing things for yourself and how to appreciate alone-time but traveling really solidifies those feelings in a good way. And it’s just the perfect way to learn how to deal with changes, differences, unexpected surprises, and disrupted plans which you can then also implement back home in a wide variety of situations.”

“By being presented with different situations, you learn more and more. It’s these small changes, especially when revisiting locations, that inspire me and make me improve. Another benefit of traveling locally!”

“I love camping to stay where I find myself to keep moving the day after. It’s hard to walk several kilometers each day, mostly off-trail, navigating with a compass and a map, finding the next safe spot to camp, plus looking for the next good shot, but it’s a new way for me to enjoy photography.”

“I’m lucky enough to live on the Jurassic Coast in the UK. Equipped with my first full-frame camera, I spent the summer of 2020 photographing my local area and found a passion for landscape & outdoor lifestyle photography due to the sheer beauty of Dorset.”

“The main inspiration is imagination, and the main challenge is to create photos that fully match the idea and vision that existed before making it.

“As a geologist, instead of focusing on the entire scenery, I spend a significant part of my time focusing on every geological detail.

“During my studies, I landed a 9-5 finance job, which I eventually quit to pursue my passion for art and photography because I felt trapped and unfulfilled. When I decided I couldn’t waste more time in a corporate job, I simply told myself to get a one-way ticket and see the options that were out there. I knew it was not going to be easy, but I was more determined than ever to make this happen for myself.”

“Somewhere deep inside, I have felt from the very beginning that this is my calling. Photography and adventures in nature fulfill me and make me happier. I find myself wherever I go, and that is the most important thing for me.”

“What fascinates me the most about photography is that you can capture a moment in your life forever. A photograph is also like a play button for adventure, bringing you more unexpected situations.”

“In the Azores, the green and rugged landscapes are present in our daily lives, just like the dark blue colors from the ocean or the bright yellows from the best light of the day.

“With my photographs, I try to emphasize the real and dreamy side of the earth. Its power, as well as its vulnerability. It is so gratifying that by expressing my experiences and emotions through photography, I can hopefully move other people, make them feel, educate them, inspire them – do something good for the planet.”

“I remember we had a large closet in my parents’ house filled with photos from birthday parties, trips, or activities alike, and as a child, I liked to stare at them a lot, bringing those photos alive in my mind. Having access to so many memories is a gift. Maybe, it is a little bit just like looking at the Milky Way – when we gaze up into the night sky, we are looking into the past because of the finite speed of light.”

“My love of photography has also evolved from my love of painting. I have found that editing photos can feel akin to painting, shaping the image to my liking, sculpting with light and shadow, adding an artistic touch to reality. The technique of chiaroscuro in painting – to use strong contrasts between light and dark – inspires me a lot.”

“Having the van has brought me new perspectives, jobs, and feelings. However, my very first trip with the van will always be the one that taught me the simplicity of life, or better said, how simple life can be.”

I focus on my well-being and take time for myself and what I love. And luckily, my family travels with me.”

“I find it rewarding when I develop my photos, and they illustrate what my eyes have seen and my heart has felt. Can you depict your soul on paper? Some people paint, others write. I take photos.”

“I would love to call myself a citizen of the world, yet my home, Greece, has shaped me in all possible ways. I originate from Sifnos, a small island in the Cyclades where I spend every August, so the sound of the waves and the colors of Greek summer talk to my soul.”

“The biggest challenge in image processing is finding the balance between editing and over-editing. Here, too, I work according to the motto of try, fail, repeat. Only when you learn from mistakes, you get better.”

“When you manage to have perfect conditions and get a clear photo of the Milky Way, there is a whole other level of satisfaction from experiencing and capturing the moment. It almost feels as I am part of the sensor as if I were exposing the film. At that moment, there is nothing else to do aside from looking up at the stars, which is a very humbling experience.”

“I firmly believe that success is a result of tough decisions. I’m a believer and I think that my photography career is still in its early phase. Because of that, I will continue to work hard to reach my goals. And I will continue to encourage others to do the same.”

“I feel that when we can develop harmony between the lives we dream of and the lives we are living, we are aligning ourselves with a divine purpose. I have faith that if we are following our genuine dreams and in alignment with the kind of person we want to be in this world, we are where we need to be.”

“For me, traveling means being free. We live in the here and now and should live and enjoy as much as possible. I not only collect pictures that capture moments, but mainly memories and emotions.”

“Being at the intersection as I am black but born and raised in France, my experience in the world is different and this emerges in my art. The choice of lightning, the colors… For me, the black and white creation I do sometimes represents a “no-lies” situation. It means that except for playing with shadows and light, I can’t change the picture.”

“When I am photographing, I don’t only chase a beautiful landscape. I chase those moments when the light turns the ordinary into the magical – when taking pictures comforts me as much as driving down the road while singing along to my favorite tunes.”

“Where I was first shy and reserved, preferring to stay home rather than to go out and about, and unaware of the proximity of the Dolomites to my home, I now pursue an adventurous life, visiting the Dolomites regularly. It seems those mountains and landscapes only exist in fairy tales, but they do exist, and they are all so majestic.”

“Over the months our ideas came together, and our goal was to show the soul of Iceland. This idea of ​​freedom, of greatness and of how the atmosphere of a country can mesmerize us. We wanted to show how a journey can touch our heart and make us experience multiple intense emotions.”

“A good photograph always touched something deep inside of me, and more and more I felt the urge to learn this skill myself. I have found photography has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with how you see them.”

“While being a tour guide might seem very different from being a photographer, I think it’s all connected. Having been a guide is one of the main reasons my passion for photography grew so much in the first place. And these two passions now show and are present in my artistic work.”

“I love hiking. Especially in the mountains. It’s always my favorite scenery to catch through my viewfinder and immortalize through an artistic eye. So when planning my trip to the Dolomites, I felt euphoria and joy just imagining myself shooting between its massive peaks and indescribable views.”

“Photography has finally properly joined my nomad lifestyle in a way I feel at peace, and in a way that encourages me to travel more and share photographs of surreal places I end up in. I have developed a profound sense of respect towards mother nature and traveling to places where I can connect with myself has become a way of recharging, meditation, and inner growth.”

“Compositional basics in photography like the rule of thirds, the golden section, or diagonals are also essential in architecture to create space. To research how light can enter a room is the same way as looking at how the sun hits a landscape during a specific moment in time. It’s about looking at what is all around you, embracing it, and incorporating it into a design or photograph.”

“As I started to build a network, I received various requests ranging from portraits and products to video content. I decided to try everything that would come onto my path. June 2021 was when I decided to quit my job. Not because I had had enough gigs and could secure future income, but because I felt happier doing photography and videography.”

“Out there in the woods, I find essence, silence, and wilderness. I hear unexpected rustles in a bush that scares and excites me. I see animal tracks in the wet earth reminding me that I am in their home… The wildlife and wilderness are full of inspiration and wonder, which pushes me out there again and again.”

“I look at life as though it is a gift from the stars. Existentially, we have one chance at life, and I have always had an innate drive to live mine to its fullest. My memories define me and what is so fulfilling is that I earned the shots I have from being present in every moment.”

“We have the opportunity to protect the Vjosa river forever, the last great wild river in Europe!”

“As a biologist, I am used to doing experiments and trying new things. Every time something new can happen. And in addition, science can be challenging. Facing scientific problems and searching for solutions contribute to how I approach projects, as well as photography.”

“If there’s one thing that the pandemic has taught me, it’s that life is too short to sit back and not do what you love.”

“When I take pictures, time stands still. I can go for minutes or hours – it feels the same. This experience cannot be more exciting. By escaping time, you forget about everything but the desire to be in the moment without looking behind you. In my experience, photography transcends time!”

“Heimat” is a German concept with no English equivalent, meaning something like home, as in the place where your roots are and that affects your feeling of identity. “Love your Heimat” has become a slogan of mine over the years.”

“Landscape photography is the only passion that can drag me out of bed at night to get the best light. I create images, I show the world as I see it, as I perceive it, and as I feel it. To search for inspiring atmospheres helps me to satisfy a vital need as well. To be immersed in nature, exploring.”

“When I saw a sea of clouds for the first time in my whole life, I discovered my passion for nature and photography. I was on a random hiking trip with a friend, and I couldn’t believe what I saw at that moment. In a way, nature has impressed me enough to want to “become” a landscape photographer.”

“I was in search of giving meaning to my life, and I found it. Combining my passion for travel and sports with photography, something I’ve been fascinated by since I was a kid, I am now able to bring joy and emotion through my creativity, through my images. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to achieve their dreams.”

“A landscape photographer needs to become very intimate with nature, be patient, and remain silent while observing the surroundings. Establishing a connection with your subject is crucial. It is only by feeling part of it that you can create an immersive picture.”

“My big dream is to go on a trip in a rural environment so vast that it seems never-ending, having all the time it takes to experience the area. There is a big chance that I will change course to share the magic with you because sometimes, the best moments are the ones you didn’t plan at all.”

“Photography is a way for me to disconnect from society, just focusing on the present and what’s in front of me. Time waits for no one, just like the sun when it rises and sets. And I want to live life to the fullest, so I make sure to also enjoy the moment.”

“For myself, it seems that I’m the happiest and have the most fun when I create without thinking, without any tension, without any resistance. When I can create in a flow, absorbed by the creative process, I am engaged and totally present.”

“When practicing drone photography it is important for me to find visually attractive elements. Living near the Peak District (England) is certainly an advantage in this regard. There are plenty of forests nearby by to go for a wander, and I love the soundscape you can experience as well.”

“Landscape photography is the fascinating process by which, while dealing with something unresponsive to your presence, so many emotions are provoked within you. And the most satisfying moments for me are when I am alone with my camera in nature.”

“One of the videos I made during quarantine, called ‘Artist in Isolation’, was seen and passed around between some pretty influential people in the Upper Michigan area. From that single video, (and it didn’t go viral or anything) I was offered my first professional writing gig, which eventually transitioned into a full-blown content creation job among a slew of other paying creative opportunities.”

“Photography allows me to share my experiences with my loved ones and with strangers, to make them travel through my stories. This is an important moment, I believe, because it is at this moment that you share with people what you have been able to capture with your eyes – and feel with your heart & soul.”

“Music and photography both also allow me to put myself in a different place mentally. Photography can open up my desire for exploration while a song can change my mood, transporting me to a different state of mind.”

“It can take years for the conditions to be right to get my desired shot, and it takes hours and hours of planning and preparation. But all this preparation is then manifested into the final picture you see, which makes the hassle of carrying all my outdoor and photography gear up to high altitudes and finding a suitable spot to crash for the night, well worth it.”

“Two artists that inspire me particularly are Renan Ozturk and Ben Tibbetts, who combine exploration and high altitude mountaineering with storytelling through their images. It’s truly phenomenal!”

“For me nowadays, photography is not only a hobby either – it’s a way of life and my philosophy, as well as an opportunity to earn money by doing what I love.”

“I’ve traveled a lot within Germany, and there are so many beautiful places to visit. There’s Bavaria, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, the Eifel, Lake Constance… But without a doubt, my most beloved place in Germany to shoot is not a specific place but rather anywhere out in nature.”

“One of the most iconic moments of my life was when I first captured the Andromeda galaxy. Compared to all, we are nothing, and everything is meaningless. And that might not sound very optimistic, but it is. All it teaches us is to enjoy life, and the time we have on this beautiful planet.”

“Finding where you feel good is determining what makes you happy and finding serenity with yourself, and photography and travel have helped me with this. These passions bring me happiness through dreams, escape, discovery.”

“For me, this encounter’s whole setting, with the red deer as the protagonist, symbolized the forest’s beauty and all the animals that inhabit it.”

“Stay adventurous and be spontaneous! Who knows, the most remarkable memory of your life is just around the corner!”

“Seeing and experiencing the world is what my heart desired. I made a promise to myself that I was going to leave west Michigan, and experience something new.”

“By sharing these landscapes, these everyday scenes, these people with their personalities and stories, I bring to light a world that is not fantasized but very real. A world that is beautiful and sometimes astonishing. An inspiring world that arouses curiosity and the desire to see beyond borders.”

“I remember the long hours in the back of the car, looking at the scenery passing by while listening to music and seeing myself on a horse galloping over these landscapes to explore every single bit of it.”

“It is the connection. The trust. The mutual vulnerability. I feel it both with people and landscape photography. And I knew that it was what I wanted to do.”

“In photography it is not about which gear you use, but how you master it.”

“Photography is a bit like writing a song. While you’re writing it, you can lose yourself in the moment, and that moment is only yours – a moment of introspection. But then, when you share it with other people, it becomes everyone’s and it can really break barriers.”

“The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret to freedom, courage.” Any kind of freedom can be acquired only if you have the needed courage.”

“When I finished my studies in Business, I decided to be brave. Without having had any formal education around photography, video, or art in general I registered myself as a freelancer. It has been two years now and it is my full time job.”

“I would like to say to anybody with a dream, just go for it! Embrace and enjoy the journey, the good, the bad, the happy, the sad, the ups, the downs, it’s all there to teach you and help you grow. But most of all, be kind, be grateful, and never give up. It will all work out. Dream big and know you deserve it, you’re worth it!”

“I’ve always loved telling my stories and listening to others tell theirs. That’s what I love most about photography, and the best part about this goal is that in order to improve on this I need to continue to seek adventure, continue to seek discomfort in my life, throw myself into uncertain situations, and keep my camera close by.”

“Everything can be just perfectly beautiful at a particular moment surrounded by nature, while at the same time, the second the light, a cloud, or your angle changes, you keep shooting, and new impressions, new ideas, and new edit visualizations emerge.”

“There are many beautiful places on Earth, and I want to live in all of them but Spain is the one I am most happy to call home.”

“To create constantly is what guides me through life and this inevitably means new journeys, emotions and situations that certainly enrich me as a person and an artist. And to me, this means happiness.”

“Landscape photography has brought me so much until today. Challenge, excitement, friends, breathtaking views, beautiful memories, and above all, passion. I believe that we can really feel 100% at our best when you have nothing but nature around.”

“When you allow yourself to have an intense experience and let your soul speak, you naturally achieve a strong vision and can create a meaningful story. A good story doesn’t need expensive gear to come across. It can be told with a simple smartphone, or poetically, with words. But sometimes also with silence.”

“Don’t focus on the impossible and no need to do what every other photographer is doing. Instead of saddening yourself, rather value your energy, your wellbeing and your time, and thrive using what lies within your possibilities.”

“Sometimes I think that I found this passion for traveling and photography a little bit late in my life, but then I remind myself of all these unforgettable moments I had because this beautiful art taught me to be more patient in life and enjoy every single moment of it.”

“One of the reasons I am so drawn to photography is because I strongly believe that certain images can change the world. Photos have the ability to show people things they never may have ever seen and can change their perspectives.”

“Photography reinforced my love for nature, and my love and advocacy of the wilderness. Photography is how I inspire myself – it is fundamentally for me. I always felt a little inert up until I really took photography seriously.”

“Dragging myself up a mountain for a breathtaking view and a particular photo or being outside in stormy weather just because the clouds look amazing, are all situations that some people may not understand but are things I wouldn’t want to miss now – because they bring me the most beautiful photos, emotions and memories.”

“Surprise, learning and opportunity lies in the unexpected. And in the end, it is up to us to declare something as a success or a failure, even if it didn’t go as expected. You can create your own norm.”

“I truly think that we can experience so much more at home when we would be a bit more impulsive and open up to strangers, just like when we travel.”

“My way of traveling is just to go with the flow. If one pays attention and listens, the universe will send you on some crazy paths and adventures, you just have to be open to new things and take the bad with the good.”

“Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible.” Follow your personal legend, listen to the kid within you.”

Learning the “why” is still my favorite reason to travel. There is always a “why” for the reason people do things, and finding that out can illuminate an entire side of a culture that seemed so odd just moments before.”

“One of the main purposes of my photography is to represent places I visited and by doing so encourage other people to travel. In my opinion photography is one of the most powerful tools to translate how we perceive the world with our own eyes.”

“Live by your compass, not your clock” is a quote that I always remind myself of and love to share with others. It’s how I feel we should always try to live our lives; living in the moment and appreciating what’s in front of you rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about what’s to come.”

“I consider it to be very special that I can contribute to the image of the world, and that my photographs freeze how a place looks like a second in time, an instant in history.”

“What I’m trying to do with photography is to preserve an image of the world, to communicate what it was, what it is and what it is going to be, as humanity, as nature and as territory.”

“This year’s trip to Iceland was one of the best travel experiences so far. The moment I witnessed the Aurora Borealis is something that will forever remain on my mind. Contemplating these outstanding landmarks gave me the opportunity to think deeper about life and these reflections enable me to be more creative.”

“Life is too short and valuable for us to pretend. We should do what intrinsically energizes us, what allows us to spread positive vibrations to our surroundings. We should develop, evolve, and bring out the best in ourselves, even in circumstances where everything goes wrong.”

“With each place visited my enthusiasm for photography grew and now it is a vital part of my life, a wonderful tool and activity that works like therapy. William James once said: “The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” Personally I choose wanderlust over any other thing.”

“In the summer of 2015 I realized a dream I had had for a long time, doing a world trip exploring 12 countries in 12 months. This sabbatical allowed me to listen to the irrepressible need I felt to depart on an adventure in search of answers to the existential, spiritual and metaphysical questions I had been asking myself.”

“In my photos I look for contrast, so the images give a deeper feeling of awareness. Like seeing an emotional and impactful movie. The only opinion that matters is your own. It is your art, a demonstration of what you see and feel.”

“I love to create, and to create everlasting memories from all over Norway and the world, is just amazing in every way. I have so much to see and experience, and now I’m finally getting there. That I get to do this together with someone I love is truly special.”

“Inside our human nature, we have an ‘innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life’, this is called the biophilia hypothesis. This hypothesis is something I can relate to; sometimes you get that overwhelming feeling that you need to be outside, going back to the roots of human nature and capturing something totally unique in remote places.”

“I am very optimistic and wanted to bring more color into my life. I found I could share this with the world through photography and that is where my style derives from; I love color and my work represents that.”

“I have found that looking forward to future trips is the best antidepressant. I think it’s important to travel to change perspective. When anxiety and/or depression hits, go somewhere new.”

“For a while I had this continuous feeling that I had to do something. That the world was waiting for me. One day I got this simple but strong feeling: Just GO! So I did.”

“I think that enjoying travel to the fullest means to be brave. Whenever I’m scared, that’s when I get the urge to do it – even when I’m afraid or reluctant to try something new. And that is when you learn.”

“If you are a beginner, if you are still learning a lot like me or if you are already a pro, do not stop shooting. We are on a mission of capturing beauty and feelings for now and for the future.”

“I have learned to respect the places I visit and give credit to the people and landscapes that exist on this earth.”

“With vast landscapes to explore within such a short distance of home, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph forests, mountains, deserts and wildlife that I had only ever wished I could visit. Now it’s my home.”

“Show me your friends and I will show you your future”, I believe that the people around me are important for my self-growth, from which we can learn both good and bad.”

“For me that perfect shot would be a sunrise high up on a mountain. Looking over the clouds, peaks being touched by the first soft sunlight, your heart and mind being taken over by peace and bliss.”

“I will always encourage anyone who travels to venture one step further beyond. This is where magical things happen and where stories are created. Those stories become the catalysts for others to start their own journey.”

“My past has had a significant influence on who I am as an artist nowadays. I grew up next to a forest where my brother and I spent a lot of time and at school, instead of studying on the computer, I looked at landscapes. I always withdrew into the peace and quiet of the wild. It was and is my “haven”.

“For my photography, but also for anything else in life, I try to live up to my vision: “Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

“I do not know what the future holds in terms of my career, not many people do. But I know for sure it involves wildlife and/or photography, whatever that may be. My motto is to Believe in yourself, Capture the moment and Inspire others.”

“My life as a snowboarder has really shaped my life as a photographer. You’re going to be at low points and you’re going to be at high points, but for me the key is appreciating every moment and learning from every experience.”

“The way we treat nature has a trickle down effect on others. It’s important, and more imperative than ever that we hold ourselves accountable for our actions and how they can affect Mother Nature in generations to come.”

“Every human being should experience that intense sensation every now and then, and hold onto it to remember how great nature can make us feel, how it heals us, and that the least we can do in return is to treat it with respect.”

“When you’re in a position of comfort, you’re playing not to lose. Instead, go and do the things that scare you and celebrate the small wins along the way.”

“Sooner or later your soul meets its destiny, the moment when you are feeling the best in your life. I don’t believe in fairy tales but in the universe, in the law of attraction. We attract what we are; positive thoughts bring good into our life.”

“Photography awakens the explorer within me and also opens my senses to my surroundings. Wherever I go to take pictures, it always pushes me to go further and releases energy to go the extra mile and discover beautiful places, while giving me peace of mind.”

“I recently went to photograph Peveril Castle. It’s safe to say this trip definitely taught me a lesson. If there’s one thing I learned from that trip, it’s to know your limits and do your research!”

“One of the purposes of documenting through photography, in addition to the simple act of informing, is to raise awareness of the problems that the planet suffers from. Especially due to my background, environmental problems have occupied a very important place in my life.”

“There is still so much to discover and showcase through my photography, also here in Austria, the place where my heart beats.”

“Spending hours at one spot and staying up after sunset until sunrise to try to get the best light, the best shot, really taught me to be patient.”

“I want to inspire others with my work, and when I feel I am losing that spark to be able to do that I try to ‘renew’ myself.”

It’s an amazing feeling when I shoot people experiencing moments, and can have them transported back to them just by looking at the image.”

“Much is uncertain in life but one thing I’m sure about is that we should live for the full 100% and dedicate ourselves to that, as challenging as it may be!”

“Through my pictures, I would like to motivate people to come and travel to Switzerland and make them discover our country under different angles. Honestly, I feel like I live in paradise. I feel like an ambassador of our beautiful Switzerland!”

“As I looked out onto the ice-fjord, I saw a lone Greenlandic Inuit fisherman on the ice fishing through a whole he had just made in the vastness of this frozen world.”

“A man is rich not by what he owns but what he can do without.”

“To be able to sit, watch and listen to the world go by in a landscape that has been untouched for centuries makes me feel very humble; Alive.”

“Photography has opened my eyes to our planet and inextricably related to that, the importance of conserving it. I am much more cautious and much more sensitive now to the protection of our environment, wildlife, and active with reducing my personal footprint…”

“Every day presents new fears and challenges to overcome. This is what photography has given me so far. Every day is an opportunity to see in new ways, to express and evoke emotion, to become a better version of myself, and to create a future driven by passion.”

“My photos appear poetic for some and deep for others. Some may be touched, others may be indifferent. I recently lost a loved one, and my latest sets often show a beam of light. Although I am neither a believer nor a spiritual person, I cannot help but feel that this is a sign of his presence.”

“With my photos, I try to reflect the beauty of nature as I perceived it. Showing what is possible in nature, what views you can get when venturing out and the feeling that accompanies the experience. If I can do that, my work will be successful.”

“My wish is to achieve the objective of doing what I love every day and wake up every morning saying to myself “today I’m gonna do my best in everything I do, and everything that will happen will be a lesson for me.”

“You cannot photograph everything. Enjoy the moment while taking the shot, that is what the craft is all about, capturing the moment. And keeping it.”

“At the end, travel is not just about seeing a place. It is about understanding a place, connecting with the people, and above all about taking distance from having and doing to focus on being instead. And on being together.”

“No matter where you are along the Wild Atlantic Way, you simply feel free and worriless whether that is standing on top of a cliff 500 meters above the water or on a white sand beach with crystal clear water.”

“My happiness comes from telling but also listening to stories, exploring the outdoors through climbing, mountaineering, camping, surfing… It fulfills me with joy to capture authentic and emotional outdoor explorations all around the world – living the experience and creating art together with others.”

“I feel that my higher objective as a photographer, besides artistic work, is to create in the name of memory and by that means, be a testimony for future generations.”

“For as long as I can remember I was spending time in the ocean, so I developed a relationship with the ocean and its inhabitants from a young age. I guess it was only natural that I would progress to working to protect ocean ecosystems and the animals that inhabit them.”

“For me, both painting and photography are wonderful ways to create art, immortalize experiences and keep alive the beauty I have witnessed. For both I can choose different techniques, colors and composition, but whatever I do, I want to keep it real. I want my art to represent the art of nature.”

“Imagine how you felt like when you were a kid, how everything seemed so new, different and big. How short trips and visiting places you had never seen before were the most exciting. How the smallest thing aroused huge enthusiasm and marvel. Well, that was me.”

“Travelling through less developed countries taught me to try not to worry about the things I don’t have but rather to appreciate the ones I do. This definitely increased my feeling of gratitude in everyday life.”

“Photography is escapism for me. It’s an excuse to travel, to see new countries, to experience different cultures, and to learn more about the planet we live on and the impact we are having on it.”

“We already heard a lot about New Zealand from friends and colleagues and after some research it was clear this was the country to go. It sounded like the perfect place for us!”

“My image creation and editing is inspired by this same vision of pursuing what I feel is right. When I shoot or edit I try to focus on my own emotions, preferences and ideas without letting me be influenced by what other people may say or think.”

“For me, “modern nomad” is just a metaphor of my current state. Everything I own is in my van and if a place doesn’t suit me anymore I move on.”

“The world is like a classroom, where travel allows us to learn first hand about other people and everything about their culture. Where we can become aware of our differences and similarities, strengths and weaknesses, and how these can be used to connect and be better together – helping each other out.”

“Sometimes it’s more of an adventure to explore and see the beauty all around us. It’s not really about this bucket list destinations. Not even about the perfect photo. It’s about being alive on this beautiful planet.”

“I am experiencing things that I couldn’t have imagined before and seeing details of life that I had always missed out on, even in my backyard that I’ve known for so long.”

“This was surely not my last expedition to Seiser Alm. Anytime I set foot on the path that passes by the little houses, I am astounded by the infinite amount of photographic possibilities this place has to offer.”

“The ‘why’ can be inexplicable with words, but a feeling says everything. And often that’s enough. Eventually we will end up there, if we have the courage to follow our hearts.”

“For the first time I did something purely for me. Cancer was my catalyst and continues to push me forward because it reminded me that I only have one life to live.”

“You can be proud and happy when achieving your goals on your own, but there’s nothing more satisfactory to me than the feeling of creating something great together, supporting and helping people with a good vibe and seeing them achieving their goals too.”

“Doing photography has built my belief in myself and that utter solitude is not loneliness – it’s being at peace with yourself and comfortable.”

“Every single human on this planet has an artist inside them, which may come out through a camera, a brush, a pen, a musical note, a dance routine or baking the most delicious and yummy cake… Art, for me, is the freedom of self-expression.”

“Nature has a healing power. It was there that I was able to find peace after a terrible period in my life.”

“By a hard lesson, I learned to focus on the right things to maintain my happiness. To pick up the good vibes, to look at the bright sight.”

“I believe that giving your own imprint in whatever you do as artist, making you different from everyone else, is the hardest but still the most satisfying part of our job.”

“Sharing this trip with my best friends made the connection between us even stronger and more profound. We keep those memories forever and for me that is the most important.”

“My photos don’t just come from the camera in my hand and one click with my finger. They develop through teamwork. Through inspiration. And through adventure.”

“I realize I have massive privilege in saying that I’d love to pursue photography as a career, but I would. I think life’s too short not to pursue what you’re passionate about.”

“My passion for photography and film started with outdoor sports. A dream came true when I went together with three others to Mongolia to film a snowboard expedition.”

“I believe that my work, both creatively and commercially, shows that photography and film has really given me a chance to see many different sides of the world.”

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world. For me there is an incredible amount of truth in this simple statement. This quote just fits perfectly and sums up what happened to us.”

“I realized that I am increasingly strongly attracted to the remote places of this planet, to distant cultures and otherworldly landscapes.”

“We shouldn’t devalue ourselves by thinking we are bad at something or expecting that others won’t like what we create. We limit ourselves that way, not just in what talents we could be developing but also in how we express ourselves and who we are.”

“Siberia will welcome you and surprise you and I hope my photos show that.”

“There’s so much that we don’t know and by traveling and interacting with a diverse group of people we realize that, which in turn allows us to adjust our worldview, be better and understand better what’s life all about.”

“The most important thing for me in editing is that I try out new things; my screen is my canvas and it’s there to get covered in colors and emotions.”

“A little girl itself does not make a story. But place a red hood on her head and put her into the forest – now there is a tale to be found. And that’s what I want to achieve.”

“A winter hiking experience testing Lafuma’s shift down jackets.”

“I believe no one should ever stop trying to reach their dreams; they should always insist on achieving them whatever the circumstances or consequences because they teach us how we can think better, how to be stronger.”

“I returned to Scotland five times, three to four months each time, and it was my life lesson – it opened my eyes and my mind.”

“Let’s see what I can realize in the future and what is awaiting me, taking me by surprise!”

“Our biggest project in mind is to buy a van and live on the road for two years, where we will entirely focus on trying to really evolve and refine our photography skills and create work that has an impact.”

“I have always been taught that the most important thing in life is to be happy, that we must work hard to be good, both professionally and personally. And, no matter what, we should be kind and respectful.”

“Being able to visualize important and impactful moments and to freeze them with a single shot at the right time – that is what photography is all about for me.”

“We don’t always need to follow the rules, especially not those we made up ourselves or are imposed to us, unconsciously, by the expectations of the majority.”

“The world continuously changes, and so do we, so each photo is an expression of a unique moment and emotion experienced.”

“I always try to learn from challenges and I don’t see them as limitations or obstacles. I see it as a stairway that helps me get to where I want to be.”

“When it comes to photography, practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes your craft. Over time and with repetition, you eventually find your individual voice and style in photography.”

“From the day I left to climb Kilimanjaro my life has been a real adventure!”

“I am respectful of this nature and enjoy every little thing I encounter there. And photography, the pictures in which I capture my trips and moments outdoors, always bring me back there. I feel free through them.”

“Personally, as soon as I see something cool, I film it. I continuously make mental films. This is what keeps me active; playing and traveling with the mind, wherever I am.”

“I love simple and classic stuff, in any area of life. Less is more, also in photography I believe.”

“By practicing photography, we discover how to seeing life differently – by leaving our microcosm we learn to observe, feel and share more often. I believe that’s the power of photography.”

“Don’t simply accept your limitations or that your ability or passion seems to have been taken away from you. You will feel much better when fighting and searching for an alternative that brings you as close as possible.”

“Both photography and nature help me to put things into another light, change my thoughts and therefore give me a more positive attitude towards everyday life.”

“I can’t think of a trip that hasn’t taught me something or left me with something unforgettable.”

“Already at a young age, I learnt from my father that if there’s something important in life, it is to have a dream and pursue that dream. He did. And I did too. I am still doing it.”

“I’ve picked fruit in the Australian outback, cooked in a chalet in the French Alps, monitored cargo on container ships, all with my camera in tow, and it’s given me an appreciation and respect for all types of people and places.”

“The ability to photograph a brief moment of life, and capture it forever, inspires me to constantly strive to create even greater ones – both moments of life and photographs.”

“If it wasn’t for photography I wouldn’t have seen half of the places I saw.”

“On the last night, when some of us were already snoring, one Swiss girl suddenly broke into the lodge: “come outside, something in the sky started to shimmer!”. I’d been prepared for that moment for a long time…”

“We often see the beauty of others, of what is far away, and forget to look at what we have ourselves and what we are surrounded with.”

“For me, travel is one of, if not the most, rewarding aspects of my life.”

“Chin up and continue shooting! Because in the end, it’s all about you and your passion. All experiences, successes and failures, helped me to become what I am.”

“The world is full of opportunities. You are full of opportunities. You just need to dare yourself to take a step and search for them.”

“I learnt that all that matters at the end, is that I feel happy with whatever I do. That I make myself happy.”

“Being outside relaxes me and releases any tension from everyday life, and to be able to capture that nature on my lens is a gift.”

“We found beauty everywhere. It’s like we have always been short sighted and now we have put on glasses that suddenly enabled us to see reality. The gorgeous reality.”

“For me, my goal is to have an amazing experience and create an image that mirrors this experience – the experience itself has to be better than the photos we bring home”

“My passion is to capture these moments, save memories for eternity. And I love to help others saving theirs, in a beautiful way, for eternity.”

“Introverted by nature, photography forces me to pass my limits and positively influences my self-confidence. This art allows me to assert myself and gain certainty.”

“If there’s something I have learnt it is that each situation that seems to be a disadvantage or against you, can transform into a situation that provides you exactly with what you need to excel.”

“That is probably what I enjoy most about doing photography, together with watching the sunset, which always succeeds in making me feel relaxed and peaceful, contemplating the landscape covered by a soft light, slowly hiding in the darkness.”

“The combination of travel and photography has brought me amazing experiences and values that are part of me now.”

“It’s good to dream big, but we have to keep in mind that there’s not just one dream, neither just one way to realize that dream.”

“Photography took me to places far outside of my comfort zone and showed me a much more meaningful and colorful way of existence.”

“I believe that each trip brought me something I needed, to develop myself personally, to get to know myself better.”

“All hard circumstances I’ve been through as a kid until now made me stronger. These situations allowed me to do what I did. To change jobs and start a new career from the scratch without the support of anyone or anything.”

“With or without success, having at least tried it yields more positivity and a better peace of mind than when not trying it at all.”

“If you pursue your dreams with enthusiasm and motivation, one day you will hopefully be successful – but in any case happy and never have to feel like you missed out on something.”

“What I love about nature is feeling small – getting a sense of how timeless this world really is and how we all are just momentary visitors to what has been and what will continue to persist long after we are gone.”

“The world is big, we have a beautiful planet full of opportunities. We just need to see them.”

“Photography opens up a new reality for anyone who is willing to give it a try!”

“We get so caught up in our daily fast paced lives. Making money has become the central goal for many, but at the end, when our individual journeys on this planet finish, how much of this money can we take with us?”

“The beautiful aspect of photography is that you are free to create your own piece of art, using your perceptions and emotions. And that any other is free to perceive and feel the same piece of art in his or her personal way.”
