With some of the oldest towns and settlements in the United States, traveling in New England is a bit like time travel. A drive down one country road takes you to a town built by the whaling industry, while another winding stretch of macadam leads to a simple, white-washed wooden church. One can almost hear […]

Sofia city at night offers a mix of eclectic architecture, vibrant illumination and elevated viewpoints, making it one of Eastern Europe’s most underrated destinations for night photography. The Sofia cityscape is equally beautiful during the day, especially in autumn colors, but I wasn’t expecting it to transform into this glowing grid after sunset, with a […]

This April, something special begins in Salamanca. For the first time, my work crosses borders for a solo exhibition beyond Portugal and it feels like a natural step in a journey shaped by this entire peninsula. Let me introduce you to… CORação – Colours of the Heart(Portuguese: cor = colour · coração = heart) From […]

I have been to Boston many times and have explored most of its iconic historic sites Faneuil Hall, Custom House, and the Old North Church, to name only a few but there is no place in the city that captures my imagination like its waterfront. It is, after all, a city shaped and defined from […]

Looking north from Killian Court, a visitor to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is treated to one of the most iconic views of academic life in the United States, and certainly one of the most recognizable in Cambridge the Great Dome. Like all great works of architecture, the Great Dome was designed to make a […]

Watching the Menorca coast at sunrise is a very special experience, since this is literally the first place in the country to see the sun each morning. This geographic position as the easternmost point of Spain makes Menorca especially captivating for photographers. However, it is not as simple as waking up and pointing your camera, […]

Located on the south coast of Menorca, Cala Galdana is a well-known beach offering turquoise water, good infrastructure, and convenient access to other beaches. Cala Galdana is the hub for the PhotoPills camp in Spain, so we always have our hotel there and we use it as a base to explore the island for one […]

Cala Mitjana is one of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca, with unspoiled natural surroundings on the south coast of the island. This beach is absolutely fantastic, and I would recommend that everyone go there, be it for photos or just to enjoy the sun. Cala Mitjana is actually quite close to Cala Galdana, where […]

Located in Katara Cultural Village in Doha, the Katara Pigeon Towers are cleverly inspired by Qatar’s traditional architecture. Qatar’s skyline is mostly famous for futuristic glass towers, but some of the most fascinating structures in the country are inspired by centuries-old traditions like the Pigeon Towers. And both styles are equally photogenic. If you are in […]

The Church of the Virgin of the Burgh (Panagia tou Bourgou) features Gothic church ruins in Rhodes’ Old Town, slightly off the tourist paths. This historic site is a window into the island’s Gothic and medieval past. Those who wander here will discover a serene and almost romantic atmosphere, and photographers will be especially happy to […]

From the Walhalla Memorial, the view opens across the Danube Valley in Germany, with the river and surrounding Bavarian landscape stretching far into the distance. This fantastic view over the Danube deserves to be the culmination of this three-piece series on the Walhalla Memorial. It is the kind of place where history and landscape meet […]

The interior of the Walhalla Memorial is often described as Germany’s Hall of Fame, featuring a grand hall of marble busts honoring influential figures from German history. Seeing the interior of Walhalla Memorial was actually the reason why we made that detour when traveling from Regensburg to Passau. Along the way we stopped to climb up […]

The Walhalla Memorial is a neoclassical temple in Bavaria, Germany, overlooking the Danube Valley and built to honor influential figures from German history. Created by Bavarian King Ludwig I, this neoclassical monument in Germany is actually one of the most important of its kind from the 19th century (yes, even if you’ve never heard of […]

Praça Rodrigues Lobo is the main town square in Leiria’s Old Town, serving as a central meeting place surrounded by historic buildings, cafés, and shops. I have to confess: I have an obsession with town squares. They are historically the most important part of any city, where I can feel the history of the place most […]

The Leiria Bell Tower is a historic landmark in the old town of Leiria, offering elevated views over the city and its surrounding landscape. Funny story: We went to spend a long weekend in Leiria to pass our language test, the one we need to apply for Portuguese citizenship after living in the country for […]

The Leiria City Sign is a central landmark in Leiria featuring the city’s name with an installation of letters. The sign is located right next to the prominent fountain Fonte Luminosa at the Praça Goa Damão e Diu, a central square not too far from Leiria Old Town Square. The fountain, created by sculptor Lagoa […]

Leiria Castle (Castelo de Leiria) is a medieval castle overlooking the historic city of Leiria in central Portugal. The castle is hard to miss if you are in Leiria, as the majestic structure can be seen from virtually everywhere in town, radiating history and a bit of mysticism. Was it worth it for me to […]

While I genuinely enjoy photographing landscapes and cityscapes, one of my biggest passions is capturing the interior of magnificent buildings. Like this one of the inside of the Budapest Parliament and it’s grand staircase. Architects design exteriors to impress from a distance. But the real question is always what happens once you enter. Does the […]

Sunset in this region of Tuscany in Italy was already glowing when we arrived at the vineyard near San Gimignano. We have photographed this area before, but that evening felt different the moment I stepped out of the car. The sky was turning a deep orange. I remember setting up quickly, almost instinctively, because I […]

I tried to photograph the Sofia National Assembly and Parliament of Bulgaria for years. Every time I came back to Sofia, I found myself returning to the Largo area, hoping for the right conditions to finally capture this iconic architectural ensemble. When the day finally arrived, I was gifted this perfect sunset…! Sofia National Assembly […]
