Safety when photographing in the outdoors

I like to get out in nature, away from the crowds. Even though I’ve been pretty far from civilization at times, I’m aware that you don’t need to be in a remote place for something bad to happen to you. Anything could happen at any moment, anywhere. If you get hurt and can’t walk, 1 mile becomes 1,000.

In this video, I talk about some of the safety measures I take when I photograph in the great outdoors.

Always keeping in mind that there’s no such thing as a risk-free life and we must embrace some degree risk, this is about minimizing the chances of something happening and increasing the odds of us getting of that situation in one piece.

Photography as a lifestyle, from Zion National Park

I breathe photography, it’s my life. I always have a camera with me, ready to create something at any moment. If photography were to be done only from beautiful and stunning places, I wouldn’t be doing it. I believe photography should be done anywhere, at all times. There’s an image to be made everywhere.

In this video from beautiful Zion, I talk about this approach to photography.

American Road Trip Journal #30: Zion National Park

The series American Road Trip is coming to an end: only 2 more episodes left!

This time we visit Zion National Park, in SW Utah.

I spent a few days in the area but I was only able to visit the park a couple times, due to a snowstorm that covered it with ice and snow. This ruined my plans of hiking to Angel's Landing, but gave me some more unique images in exchange.
