Inspiring Photography Locations

The Gooderham or Flatiron building at the convergence of Front and Wellington Street in Downtown Toronto is an easy and frequent target for photographers. Putting a new perspective on a popular landmark is always a challenge.

Toronto has been a frequent stopover on transatlantic journeys home. For me personally it has become more than a way station on my somewhere else, but a first stop I build into trips as often as possible – even if there are perhaps more direct routes to where I am going. Friends and family have […]

Skógafoss Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss are the two main draws on the waterfall circuit of Iceland’s south coast. Both waterfalls are large and impressive, and both have smaller, lesser known sister falls near them which are less touristy and in my view, more enjoyable. We were driving up to Seljalandsfoss and saw an unbroken line of […]

Gold Coast was meant to be the vacation part of our Australia trip, but there is so much worth capturing I had trouble putting the camera (or drone) down.

The Julian Alps in Slovenia feel like the Alps in miniature. Within a short time you can go from a snowcapped mountain peak to a turquoise blue river in a lush green valley. 

Berlin doesn't have a downtown or city center in the classic sense, so there is an unusually large number of large, unique train stations.

Kirkjufell mountain in the west of Iceland was already said to be the most photographed landmark in Iceland - I'd say that's certainly undoubtedly the case now, since it made a cameo in Game of Thrones.

Saltstraumen is a small strait with one of the strongest tidal currents in the world near Bodø.

Ancient basalt volcanic dikes cut unique shapes on the coast of Snæfellsnes: Lóndrangar and the hill Svalthufa are actually the remains of a crater, which has slowly eroded into its present form by the sea.

This is the SS Maheno was an ocean liner that was later used as a hospital ship in World War I. A cyclone caused the shipwreck, as it washed ashore on 75 Mile Beach on the east coast of Fraser Island.

Whitehaven Beach is located on the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Queensland. The clear turquoise water and pure white silica sand make the beach stand out in a country full of beautiful beaches.

Mona Vale Beach and Ocean Pool has two distinct advantages: Firstly, it is a gorgeous spot and; second, it is quite a ways outside of Sydney and is one of the quieter beaches to visit.

Segla otherwise known as the Sail of Senja Island is a very identifiable mountain on the northern part of Senja Island in Norway.

In April 2018 I spent two weeks more or less by myself photographing the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Granted, Spring is an odd time to visit.

Like most hotspots on the Lofoten, Kvalvika Beach is not exactly a breeze to get to, having said that the double beach is arguably the most spectacular, so it's worth the hike - check out a short video and a photographs of Kvalvika Beach.

Nestled between Haukland and Uttakleiv Beaches, Mannen is a challenging climb with great reward: click the link to check out some more views from Mannen Mountain.

Don't let the comparative ease of this hike fool you, Hoven offers one of the best panoramas on all of the Lofoten Islands. Click to watch a 360° view of the Hoven summit.

Bunes Beach, along with Kvalvika and Horseid Beaches, belong to the main attractions on the Lofoten Islands. Bunes Beach is harder to reach and will require taking a ferry from Reine to Vindstad, from there it is a manageable trek along the fjord.

The small fishing village on the island of Moskenesøya, Hamnøy is the quintessential Lofoten spot replete with Rorbuer, mirror-like water and a beautiful mountain backdrop. Follow the link to see more of Hamnøy.

The 'Lost in Amsterdam' title image is somewhat fitting, as I often got a bit turned around in a light, slightly-panicked jog, trying to catch what colour the faint sunlight could provide. I needn't have worried, it's not as if Amsterdam shuts up shop and goes dark in the evening.
