The experience of sunrise sailing in the Aegean Sea is shaped by gentle waters and rocky contrasts which inspire very calm and warm photography. This is the kind of morning that is possible in Lindos. Located on the eastern coast of Rhodes, the village combines Greek island charm with memorable coastal scenery. No wonder it […]

Every year during the PhotoPills expedition, the highlight shot is to align the full moon with the Burj Khalifa. This year we were lucky with clear skies. As the moon began to intersect with the spire of the Burj Khalifa, the rising sun was already softly illuminating the skyline and the lower parts of the […]

The Rhodes Windmills, also known as the Mandraki Windmills, stand at the entrance of Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes. Archaeological findings suggest that as many as 13 to 18 windmills once stood around the harbour during the medieval period, although only three remain today. The Rhodes Windmills at Mandraki Harbour supported both residents and passing merchant […]

A drone view of Bansko Old Town reveals a maze of cobblestone streets, stone houses, and red-tiled roofs framed by the Pirin Mountains. Known as Bulgaria’s most famous ski destination, Bansko has become popular not only for winter sports but also for its preserved cultural heritage. And it doesn’t matter if you visit Bansko in […]

Merchant’s Arch is a historic stone archway and adjoining building located beside the Ha’penny Bridge in central Dublin. This archway connects the famous riverside street Wellington Quay with the Temple Bar, one of Dublin’s most visited cultural and nightlife areas, so you can imagine why Merchant’s Arch has become one of the most recognisable entry […]

There are shots you can plan. There are shots you can chase.And then, there are those rare moments where the moon, the Earth, and your patience align iterally. In March 2025, after weeks of checking forecasts, fine-tuning coordinates in PhotoPills, and holding my breath for a clear sky, I captured a photo I won’t be […]

Dubai is a city of superlatives. World’s tallest this, largest indoor that. It’s the kind of place that seems designed to produce a particular kind of photograph, the kind that leaves viewers incredulous. “It can’t be real,” they say, convinced that such a place can only be the product of filters and photographic trickery. But […]

In a city known for its remarkable, laws of physics-defying architecture, there is no shortage of buildings that ask you to look at them. The Museum of the Future, however, is different; it asks you to look through it, a distinction that is the building’s entire point. A Striking Design of the terrace of the […]

You know immediately when you enter the Museum of the Future in Dubai that that it will not be a conventional museum visit. The lobby alone, which, in many museums, is a bland, functional space, is sixteen meters high and features a curving double-helix staircase with robotic creatures watching from overhead, is a solid indication […]

Hisar Kapia Gate in Old Town Plovdiv, Bulgaria, is a medieval stone arch integrated into a pedestrian street surrounded by historic buildings. As I had already written in another article about Plovdiv, I really fell in love with the diversity of this Bulgarian city. There are so many different influences over time, and you can […]

This heart viewpoint in the Rhodope Mountains offers a serene, panoramic sneak peek into rural Bulgaria. I took this photo on the drive from Bansko to Plovdiv, where I also took the photo of the Rhodope Mountains Train Station. The whole purpose of our trip was to reach the Rose Valley in Kazanlak, which is […]

The Vatican Obelisk at St Peter’s Square is an ancient monolith located in Vatican City, at the center of one of the most significant architectural spaces in Rome. The obelisk stands about 25 meters tall, reaching nearly 40 meters when including its base and cross. It might not be the tallest obelisk in Rome, but […]

The Forum of Caesar and Altare della Patria are two historical sites in Rome located within a short distance of one another, allowing for layered photo compositions. The curious thing about this proximity is that these landmarks represent two vastly different eras of Rome. On one side, the political ambitions of Julius Caesar in the […]

The Pantheon, in Piazza della Rotonda, is a monumental example of ancient Roman architecture and one of the most unforgettable views in Rome at night, in Italy. Originally built around 126 AD, the Pantheon began as a temple and later became a Christian church, preserving its structure through nearly two millennia, including its imposing bronze […]

As a photographer, I often find myself inside various courts dealing with copyright issues. Some of these buildings are bland and official, while a smaller number, because of their architecture, their history, or both, evoke certain feelings. Some buildings inspire reverence. Others disquiet you. Somehow, Wroclaw’s District Court complex manages to do both, and for […]

Daria and I have made countless trips to Wroclaw. We have seen all the city’s most famous attractions, but I’ve always found myself drawn to the University of Wroclaw, particularly the old monastery complex of St. Vincent and St. James, which is now used by the philological faculty. I’ve visited the complex often, partly because […]

The Berchtesgaden Panorama showcases a small alpine town surrounded by mountains and valleys in southeastern Bavaria, Germany. Near the border with Austria and nestled in the heart of the Berchtesgaden Alps, this region is widely known for its peaks, lakes, and protected natural areas. There is a mix of accessible viewpoints and more demanding terrain, […]

The Traun River in Salzkammergut, Austria, flows through a landscape shaped by mountains, lakes and forests, where weirs appear at intervals, subtly integrated into the river flow. The Traun River runs for roughly 156 kilometers, passing through iconic lakes such as Hallstätter See and Traunsee before joining the Danube River. The river is well known […]

Hallstatt Old Town at night reveals a quiet heart of the old town illuminated by soft post-Christmas lights, allowing for more cinematic photography after the crowds have gone. Of course, the Hallstatt sunset is also undoubtedly beautiful, but as daylight fades, the small Austrian village reveals a different personality. While most tourists come for a […]

The Hallstatt Sunset is a quiet yet striking moment in which this small village in Austria transforms into a fairytale scene. Hallstatt had been on my list for a very, very long time, so when we were visiting Salzburg I seized the opportunity to take the car and drive for one evening to this iconic […]
