London

2025 was a monumental year for me, with workshops taking place in Tokyo, Paris, Lisbon, London, Zurich, Geneva, Vienna, and many other cities around the world. I was also honored to participate in the 100th-anniversary celebration of Leica in Wetzlar, Germany.

 

The year began with my “96 Hours in Biel-Bienne” solo exhibition, a wonderful collaboration with Leica, WhiteWall, Bieler Foto, and REBL SPACE.

 

2026 is shaping up to be just as busy, with solo exhibitions planned for New York, Porto, Mexico City, Sydney, Melbourne, and Milan. I am also thrilled to be part of “New York Visionaries” alongside Meryl Meisler and Louis Stettner. With two new books in the works and workshops scheduled globally, I am looking forward to meeting everyone. I wish you all a Happy New Year and continued success in whatever brings you joy.

 

For now I wanted to share with you some of my favorite moments from 2025.

If you've ever been outside the Connaught hotel in Mayfair, London, you know the drill. For a brief second, a burst of steam kicks out of the water pool in the main courtyard where all the luxury cars park.

It makes for a great photo—a genuinely striking shot—but it lasts only a few seconds. The challenge is trying to perfectly time a person walking past in front of the rising vapor. It sounds simple, but trust me, it's not.

The steam only releases every 15 minutes, so if you miss the window, you have a long wait and a lot of hoping that a pedestrian's pace will align with the fountain's schedule. I call it great fishing practice; it certainly teaches you patience!

If I had to pick favorite shooting scenarios, it would have to be Rome in the snow and London in full fog. I did not quite get the full fog, but I did get enough to capture this atmospheric shot of Sir Winston Churchill with Big Ben in the background. The bird just happened to fly in and add that missing something to the image.
