Whether you’re a seasoned travel photographer or just starting out, this space offers practical tips, creative insights, and mindful techniques to help you capture the feeling of a place—not just the look.
I’ve been to Rome over 30 times—and I don’t regret a single trip. Each visit has taught me something new, not just about photography, but about the city itself. Early on, I realized that snapping photos was great, but truly paying attention—listening, learning, and absorbing the stories behind the sights—made the experience even richer.
The first time I went to Camogli, I had zero expectations. I didn’t Google it. I didn’t have a plan. I just started walking—classic me. And when I reached the entrance of the town, up on a hill before you descend a staircase into the main part of Camogli, I stopped. Right away, I felt it. I didn’t know what I was walking into, but I knew it was going to be something special.
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most photographed landmarks in the world, yet few truly see it. As an artist, I believe in looking beyond the obvious—seeking out the details, the textures, and the moments that make something iconic feel like something new again. This isn’t your standard travel photography blog.
I’ve always had a deep appreciation for black and white photography. Over the years, working professionally, I’ve discovered that, in my experience, shooting in color is often more challenging than capturing a compelling black and white image.
My Dear Paris, we meet again! My first trip to Paris was in 2018, and I’m still amazed by how much inspiration can be obtained from one singular city. The City of Light (Ville lumière) is undoubtedly a place of luxury, romance, and grandeur—but this time, I was interested in focussing beyond the postcard-perfect scenes.
Ansel Adams is one of those artists, at least for me, that you need to be a little older to truly appreciate. When I was a kid, my family and I used to go camping every year in Yosemite.
I’ve learned something over the years as a photographer—not just as someone who clicks a shutter but seeing the world that extends beyond my camera. It’s a subtle skill that has nothing to do with gear or technique and/or or perfect symmetry. Sure, composition, light, and timing matter. It’s about training my mind to recognize beauty everywhere, even in the places others might overlook.
Florence has given me countless unforgettable memories, and recently I found myself revisiting some of them.
The weather is nice, and the lighting is perfect. Your mind is already framing the beautiful scene you have before you, and your hand is about to bring the lens towards your eye. Next thing you know….
The first time I came to visit Parma was probably in 2013. Parma was high on the list at the time, because one of my favorite things to eat is Prosciutto di Parma, which is a very famous type of cured ham that is made there.
