Best Photos of 2024

Here are some of my favourite shots from 2024! When I make these selections, it’s always fascinating to hear what friends, family, and all of you think. From the challenge of capturing fresh perspectives at home to leaving my mark on new places, I love searching for the essence of a scene.

I’ve been fortunate to explore many remarkable wild places in 2024, but it’s made me reflect: How meaningful are these moments to someone viewing them with fresh eyes, through a photo rather than firsthand? Is the story I’m telling, and the way I capture it, clear without explanation, or am I so immersed in the moment that I’m overloading it with ideas?

In the end, I’ve picked the images where I felt excited as the scene unfolded before me, where I could see and dive deep into the creative possibilities. So here’s my takeaway: experiment boldly and let your imagination go wild, but know when to refine or pull back.

Thanks for all your support in 2024 - and wishing you all an amazing 2025!
