Showcase
A selection of what I consider my best images in three categories from throughout my career as an amateur photographer.
Landscape & Nature
I feel most at home out in nature, shooting forests, mountains and wildlife.

OpenLong Exposure
A selection of my long-read photography articles from throughout the years

Foxgloves in the Valley of the Wolves

I Have a Problem With Sunglasses
... in which I talk about my fondness of sunglasses for style and eye protection only to constantly break or lose them.
Overwhelmed by progress and abandonment

Blood, Sweat, and Forest Photography
... in which I trespass into a forest reserve, face cows, nettles, lost gear, and electric fences—all for the perfect nature shot.
Blessed and cursed in Iceland
... in which I endure rain and jet lag in Iceland, but capture stunning landscapes on a whirlwind Golden Circle tour.
