One of my favorite wildlife regions of the world to explore and visit can be found in South Africa. Every December I I head down towards the Greater Kruger National Park area to visit a few private game reserves that are simply over flowing with wildlife (Swipe right to see more). Time it right and you get there just before the rains, giving you the chance to watch the foliage grow right before your eyes. It always happens to be a good time to see littlile lion and leopard Cubs in the region. I just had 1 spot opening for this photo adventure, so if you are keen to learn more about wildlife photography in one of the most amazing wildlife destinations on the planet, shoot me a DM or check the link in my IG bio.

Sometimes all you need is a little reflection to help elevator your creative approach to photography. How do you overcome hitting a creative wall?

We are full on in Aurora Season now! While I was at home this past weekend, photographers in Iceland, Norway and Alaska were greeted with an incredible solar storm of activity. I am counting down the days until I return to the great white North and search for this incredibly beautiful and sometimes elusive beasts! Are you hoping to spot some Aurora this winter? If so, where?

Any incredible morning photographing a Mongolian Eagle Hunter named Bashir Khan in Western Mongolia. The night before I had scouted out different locations, looking for the best place to find perfect reflections and needless to say, I was happy with the results the following morning. Mongolia is such an amazing place! I can't wait to return next year. Currently I am looking at putting together a Snow Leopard photo expedition to Mongolia that would include a few days photographing these Eagle Hunters. Let me know if you are interested!

While small solar storms can be barely visible to the human eye, a larger storm can produce night scenes so vivid, you thought you were dreaming. As these solar flares rocket off the sun, it is their interaction with our atmosphere that create the Northern Lights. Raise your hand if you have witnessed one of these incredible experiences. If so, tell us about it! Sony a7R II w/ 16-35 f/2.8 GM #BeAlpha #sonyalpha

In a few days I head back down to one of my favorite wildlife destinations on the planet...the Pantanal and Lower Amazon Basin of Brazil. The sheer amount of wildlife that lives along the intricate river systems in the area is outstanding. I will be leading a small workshop for 6 days in the region, which will be full of Jaguars, Caimen (as seen here), Capybara, River Otters and a huge amount of bird life. Stay tuned for next year's adventure! Sony a7R III w/ 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 GM #sonyalpha #BeAlpha

While the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall in West Iceland is easily one of the most iconic and photographed falls in Iceland, it is still worth a visit. With the right conditions, this location can be simply spectacular, even if you share that experience with a few other photographers at the same time. What is your favorite iconic spot no matter if it is popular or not?

The world's geologic wonders constantly amazing me! The mixture of colors, patterns and contrast in places like Yellowstone are often beyond words. While those locations are amazing to see at ground level, a 5000ft perspective doesn't hurt ;) For this kind of work, one needs to rent a plane and shoot out the window. A drone simply can do this kind of image...oh and it is super illegal to fly drones in National Parks in the US. I am looking towards 2020 and trying to get an idea of where else I want to explore with aerial photography. Any recommendations?

I don't know about you, but Icebergs at sunrise on a black Sandy Beach make me happy! ;) I could shoot these kind of scenes for hours. Every wave is different, causing different formations in the water and different aspects of reflecting light. No two shots are alike, even taken seconds apart! Have you experimented with seascapes? What do you like or hate about it? Besides getting wet feet of course!
