Me and a mate were driving along the west coast of New Zealand, jumping from one beach to another — Karekare, Piha and whatever else we could find along the…

The whole place was completely calm. Meanwhile, the sky looked like it was putting on a show just for itself. Glad I was there for it.

I remember standing there watching people look at photographs I had taken around Sittard. It probably wasn’t a big deal to anyone else. To me, it was huge.

…and I’m starting to understand why I keep getting up so early. There’s something about the morning light, the freshness of the air, and the empty streets. Love it.

From down there, it’s a maze of narrow streets. From up here, somehow it all makes sense.

This was taken during a trip to Zeeland a while back. The sun was dropping toward the horizon, turning everything orange, when this ship slowly moved into the frame. I…

A few weeks ago I bought a new bike. The Fiido Titan Adventure Bike. And I had no idea how much it would change my mornings. Over the last three…

This morning started with no destination. Just a full battery on the bike. A camera clicked onto my camera bag… And enough coffee to convince myself I knew where I…

One of my first photos after getting an apartment in Sittard. This used to be my view from the window, and to this day I think it was one of…

While driving over one of the mountain passes in the French Alps, we got caught in an incredible storm. Luckily, it only lasted a few minutes. It was one of…

You get almost forced into photography when you’re in Český Krumlov.Seriously. You walk around one corner… there’s another photo. Cross the bridge… another shot. Look up… another one. It feels…

Shot from Cesky Krumlov. After visiting the old town for a big chunk of the day I ended up by the Vltava river… Some incredible scenery down there.

While riding from Kollenberg to Parkbos Millen and on toward Germany, the sun came up in full glory. A beautiful sunrise. I stopped, took a moment, and grabbed a few…

I tried a vertical panorama this time. Stacked 6 images vertically, and this is what came out of it. You won’t see all the details here because I had to…

Shot from the woods in Zavada, the Czech Republic A few days ago I got my hands on some new black & white Lightroom presets, and I’ve been testing them…

Sunrise on the Kollenberg.

I don’t really remember where I took this photo. All I remember is the silhouette… and that soft, orange morning glow. Sometimes that’s all that sticks. Not the place. Not…

Great morning mountain bike ride around the Maas river. And perfect Sunday morning. Paradise for taking photos… the fog difused the light perfectly. Everything looked like I was in a…

Early morning just outside of Limbricht. I took this photo to remember how good the morning felt. One of those you know you’ll want to come back to later. I…

Frozen, fresh, beautiful and peaceful is exactly what I need right now. Shot from Kollenberg, Sittard

Putstraat in Sittard getting ready for carnaval.

As a kid, January was my favourite month of the year because of the snow we used to get in Karviná — deep, heavy powder that made every day feel…

Morning shot from Sanderbout, Sittard A bridge crossing over the railway tracks.

The sky is on fire, but everything else is still. Empty paths. Light reflecting off the windows. People already at work. Already deep into their 9–5s. And I’m here… Grateful…

Am I really seeing what’s in front of me? I ask myself that a lot when I’m out with the camera.Not just looking — actually seeing. Photography slows me down.…

“Light is the key. Orson Welles said it. Light is the key.”— James Nachtwey And there you have it. From the master himself. Light really is the key to any…

I know nothing is ever perfect. There’s always something that could be better. But this morning was an exception. I just loved the light. Cold, crisp air filled with soft…

I took this shot just as the sky started to change. Simple composition, minimal elements, and clean lines. What really made it work was the colour palette. Soft oranges in…

There are days when I don’t feel like doing anything. But then I push myself — and about 97% of the time, I’m glad I dragged my butt off the…
