It was dark in the hut when I woke up, very early. That was my second day in the Peruvian Amazon, and the day ahead would be filled with activities. Because of the heat, in this part of the world you go out exploring at dawn, come back for a rest, and go back out…

One Photo | The Abandoned Boat of Carbost, Skye, Scotland
I first heard of the Island of Skye when my good friend Efisio, travelmate of many adventures and photographer, told me he was planning to spend a week there. I didn’t need much convincing when I saw that the location is nestled in the Scottish Highlands. Shortly after, I was making flight reservations to go…
One Photo | The Camel Herder in Pushkar, India
Beyond exploring, one of the greatest things about travel photography is the cultural exchange. Getting to know other people, what they do, and how they live is always a very important part of any travel story. India is truly a gem—that, I discovered on my first trip there back in 2016. There are so many…
One Photo | The Blue Gate in Fez, Morocco
Morocco is certainly a place of wonders, a country where ancient cities and traditions remain as authentic as the medinas within. At its most basic level, a medina is a walled city. Being the largest of the world, the medina in Fez is probably the best location to get a feel for how these conglomerates…
One Photo | Mosque Hassan II, Casablanca, Morocco
I fell in love with Morocco last year when I first visited. It’s a wonderful country rich in culture and traditions. So when I knew I was coming back for a second tour, I truly got excited. There were some places that I wanted to go back to, and had some images in mind that…
One Photo | Palazzo Il Vecchio in Florence, Italy
This photo was the result of a short stopover in Florence. I was on my way from Venice to photograph villages, and the rolling hills of Tuscany and the “Cradle of the Renaissance” were on the route. Needless to say, I wanted to stop at least for a bit and try to see and photograph…

Myanmar 4 Years Later | Photos
A pleasurable aroma of burnt incense fills the chill of a clear blue night. A myriad of brightly lit candles illuminate pathways and the hundreds of beloved figures around the gigantic stupa; covered with millions of tiny squares of gold leaf, it glitters. Devotees roam around and pray. It’s all familiar to me. I am…
The Fuji GFX 50s as a Travel Camera | Thoughts from the Field
A Convert to Fuji I am just back from a scouting trip in Myanmar for a future tour I am co-leading for Digital Photo Mentor; this marks my last trip of the year and over six months spent shooting with the Fuji GFX 50s Mirrorless Medium Format Camera. Mainly for travel – in this…
Fez in Photos | Morocco
I can barely fit. Still, I move forward and follow our guide; we are roaming through medieval alleyways and corridors. At times the maze of winding ways becomes dense, dark and narrow, almost crushing, so tight that only one person can walk at one time. It’s hard to imagine and describe, but to this day…
Around Rabat in Morocco | Photos
A couple of weeks ago I shared some photos from Chefchaouen, an enchanting little city. We got there driving from Casablanca, during the 2017 Digital Photo Mentor Moroccan tour. It’s a long journey, but interesting, and of course we made some stops on the road, to photograph some iconic and well-known places around Rabat. The…
Casablanca to Chefchaouen via Rabat | Photos
It was a long day of touring from Casablanca; the route was curvy, passing Rabat, some small villages, and some mountainscapes. Our guide announced that we would make a 15-minute stop in a scenic spot. We went down, crossed the road, and there she was, perched beneath the Rif mountains, surrounded by high peaks: the…
