Aerial view of Iguazú Falls and the surrounding rainforest

Devil's Throat from the air

Iguazú Falls

Brazil & Argentina

The falls as a photograph, not a postcard. Aerial of Devil's Throat, the rainforest around it, the spray that eats a lens if you're careless.

Mirror, flamingos, milky way

Salar de Uyuni

Uyuni, Bolivia

Salt at sunrise, geysers at dawn, pink flamingos on altiplano lagoons, and the darkest sky you'll shoot. World-class astrophotography.

Rio Carnival dancers in the Sambadrome

Sambadrome, city light

Rio Carnival

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Carnival as work, not a party ticket. Samba schools in the Sambadrome, street blocos, the city at night. Colour that does not wait.
