Photography is not only something I enjoy, but it also pays the bills. You’ll either run into me photographing a wedding or wandering the world, camera in hand. I travel everywhere, from the Arctic Circle to the Equator. To me, Home is anywhere where you can find people with a smile. I enjoy collecting stories of people and places which I later arrange into longer photographic series. Some of these can be found on my website.

Travel Photography: Where to Go in May

May is one of the best months for traveling. With spring in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere and the arrival of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, travelers have a wide range of destinations to choose from. There’s something for everyone. The best locations for photographers are places that are interesting without being overrun by tourists. That’s why in this article, we’ll focus on lesser-known destinations or places where the tourist season hasn’t yet peaked.  

Travel Photography: Where to Go in April

April is a great month to visit Central Europe and the Czech Republic. Spring brings rich, vibrant colors to the Czech landscape, the days grow longer, and the sun shows up more often. Czechia is a fantastic travel destination, and I recommend April to anyone who wants to explore it without the crowds. There are plenty of beautiful places to visit and travelers used to other destinations can still find something new and exciting here. 

Travel Photography: Where to Go in February

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s the perfect time for photographers to explore less crowded destinations. With airfare and accommodation prices dropping, you can enjoy the Mexican Yucatan or the stunning landscapes of northern Vietnam at a fraction of summer prices. Closer to home in the Czech Republic, the beauty of Moravian rivers might surprise you. Or, you could discover the striking architectural contrasts of Katowice, Poland. So, where will your next trip take you?

Travel Photography: Where to go in January

The new year has just begun and you’re already brainstorming where to go on your next photography trip. January is not a popular month for vacations. It’s cold, you’re recovering from all the holiday spending, and you want to save your vacation time for the summer. All this negativity is just the reason you should go somewhere for a getaway. You can venture somewhere warm and exotic or embrace the cold and snow deep in the mountains.

How to Use Rembrandt Lighting or Chiaroscuro in Your Photography

The term chiaroscuro comes from the Italian words chiaro (light) and scuro (dark). It’s a lighting technique that results in dramatic contrast between light and dark. As a result, our attention is drawn to the illuminated object, while the rest of the scene is immersed in darkness. This fine arts technique is seen in photography and can help us work with light in a better, more focused way.
