Sunrise At The Portland Head Lighthouse
On the last day of my car rental during my 2015 trip to the U.S., I got up early and headed to the coast of Maine to photograph the beautiful Portland Head Lighthouse. It was a bit of an adventure to getting to the lighthouse itself in time but thankfully I got there with about 10 or so minutes to spare. During this trip I realized what a love I have for the New England...
Jumping The Gun On The Sun
As a photographer there are few experiences more enjoyable than photographing a spectacular sunset. But there are two things I’ve observed in this regard that I’d like to share today, in hopes of helping you get get better sunset photos yourself.

Originally built in the 1840s, the bridge is still in use today, and while I’m sure it has been updated or renovated, I still believe it stands as a testimony to...
Dawn at the Nubble Lighthouse
After 3 weeks in the United States, I’m finally back and have been able to start processing the many photos I took during the trip. I was fortunate to photograph so many amazing and beautiful locations in New England, it was difficult to know where to begin, but I figured – where better to begin than the beginning! This photo comes from the oddly named but stunning Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine. Officially known as...
