I’m stuck in Istanbul (at the Atatürk International Airport) and I hope to get home at some point. I officially hate the Turkish airlines and the Turkish (lack of) internet.

I’m still in Abu Dhabi and today I’m looking forward to 7 hours of waiting in airports - not exactly a brilliant perspective. Then, I’m finally flying home. Tomorrow I’ll begin the big task of looking into the 120gb of raw stuff shot, both video and photo. Wish me luck…

I’m yet again enjoying the miracle that is The Internet. I just shot the last two outfits from my first project here in Abu Dhabi and now we’re off to visit the city. Tomorrow I’m off to Dubai for another photoshoot and then, at some point, back home.

For the first time in what seemed like forever, I’m living the miracle of having internet access. I’m over at The Al Bustan Palace in Muscat, Oman. It looks absolutely marvelous, it’s a pleasure to be here. Have a look below

As I take the first step of my journey, Turkey decides to welcome me warmly:

In a few hours I’ll be leaving for Dubai on two major photo projects. Hope to give more updates soon as the adventure unravels…

I’m finally posting Alexandra Stan’s most recent video, Get Back (ASAP). I really enjoyed working on it, and soon I’m going to post a more detailed recount of the work behind the video and the equipment. Here are a few words about the people who worked on this video.
