Behind the Scenes

A closer look at the process, places and ideas behind each collection.


URBAN STORIES — On Location

Every print begins with a moment, not just a location. This clip was filmed at the harbour of Bonifacio, Corsica, on a summer evening — the scene that later became one of the collection’s signature images: a modern sailing yacht framed against the ancient citadel walls. It’s this contrast between old stone and modern life that Urban Stories keeps returning to.

NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY — In the Wild

Nature Photography starts with time spent outdoors, often under difficult conditions. Here, footage of a roaring alpine torrent, carrying ice-cold meltwater on a dull spring day — the raw power behind the Water in Motion chapter. Getting close to water like this takes patience, and a healthy respect for how fast conditions can change.

COSMIC VISIONS — Digital Creation

Unlike the other two collections, Cosmic Visions isn’t photographed on location — it’s built. Each piece starts with two real photographs: a night sky, and a second image — often something as ordinary as flame — reshaped and combined in Photoshop until it becomes something else entirely: a planet, a star, a galaxy. Fiction, built from fact.
