Got some very exciting mail today 😄📸
My feature “Lie of the Land” is out in Outdoor Photography Magazine (Issue 324)!

Turns out even the most photographed landscapes still have a few secrets left…
if you’re patient enough to look.

Pretty happy about this ✨

When a tree becomes a sentinel, valleys turn into seas of fog, and waterfalls sing — that’s winter in the Pirin foothills. 🌄💦

Sometimes, the unexpected is exactly where the story begins.
One winter day in Bulgaria, a breakdown turned into something much more — and the journey that followed was filled with silence, kindness, and surprises.
✨ New photo story coming soon.
📍 #Kukerland, Southwest Bulgaria

A mask from the past — or a creature from the future? ✨
This Kuker shows how tradition can be timeless and surprising.

A Bulgarian Kuker in a striking fur costume and futuristic mask, standing against a vivid blue wall. A portrait that blends ancient tradition with science-fiction flair.

Between earth and sky, where colours burn bright, the Kukeri stand timeless.
This was the first step of my #Kukerland journey — a beginning wrapped in fur, bells, and stories older than memory. Before new chapters unfold this autumn, I want to glance back at where it all began.

Under the spell of the mummer

This impressive portrait of a Kuker, whose costume is a masterful blend of fur, wood, and a goat skull mask, serves as a powerful connection between humanity and the natural world.

This impressive portrait of a Kuker, whose costume is a masterful blend of fur, wood, and a goat skull mask, serves as a powerful connection between humanity and the natural world. The vivid blue wall highlights the figure's magnificence, while the hand-carved staff and the costume's meticulously crafted details play a crucial role in bringing to life the rich tradition and symbolism of the custom. It's an image that speaks volumes about its mystique and cultural depth. Kuker is dressed in the skin of a long-haired goat, wearing a skull mask with two horns. He wears several metal bells on his belt. In his right hand, he holds a wooden staff with a goat's skull, long hair, and some horns.

When you don't bring your camera because you have other duties to fulfill, you get the most beautiful light.
For once I remembered that my phone has a camera too 🤣

This photo depicts a small waterfall near Ringebu, Norway. I used a longer shutter speed to smooth out the water flow and converted the image into a dark Cyanotype.
I hope you enjoy it :)
A small waterfall comes through a gorge with a small stone formation in the foreground. Converted to a dark cyanotype-monochrome.

Lake Matheson, New Zealand at sunrise. The calm waters reflect Mount Aoraki as well as the clouds and surrounding forest. A wonderful calm morning from my 2013 cycling tour.
#NewZealand #landscape #photography #adventure 📸
The calm waters of Lake Matheson reflect the surrounding dark green forest and the mountains in the background as well as the white clouds. The sun is just starting to peak over the mountains, adding a light shimmer to the shoreline of the lake. Some Sunday’s are visible on the left side of the photograph.

Considering it is Aurora Borealis season in the northern hemisphere- a photo of the Aurora and its reflection over Jökulsárlón in Iceland from a few years ago.
#photography #landscape #aurora #nature #glaciar
Nightly with a green Aurora dancing over the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón, Iceland. There is a light cover of snow and ice in the foreground. The middleground has the dark blue waters of the lagoon with the reflection of the Aurora and some icebergs including their reflections on the water‘s surface. In the back you can see the glacier and the mountains of the Vatnajökull-Nationalpark.

📷 Red Wall Nature Reserve, Bulgaria at sunset. Currently threatened by a marble mine. One of my favourite places in the Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains.

A mountainous scene with fog gathering in the valleys and the colours of the sunset in the sky above. Located in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria the Red Wall Nature Reserve - listed in the UNESCO list of nature reserves - is threatened by a marble mine. It is one of my favourite places.

OK, somehow the Opera photo won’t work. So Havnelageret in Oslo it is.
Converted to a Cyanotype in Silver Efex and a CV rather heavy white vignette added.
Havnelageret is a former harbor storage space now converted into offices, built in the art Niveau style offering a lovely view.
Havnelageret in Oslo, Norway is an art nouveau building originally used as harbor storage it has been converted to an office building. It is nine stores high (Norweginan 10 floors) and its corners come with small towers offering a tenth floor and a stunning view. In front of it is the Oslo fjord, here with a thin layer of ice, as I took the photograph early in the morning of February 29th 2020. I converted it into a Cyanotype in Silver Efex and added a heavy white vignette in post-processing to put the focus on the building.
