Riding into the Unknown

Distance, fading daylight, and the feeling of leaving routine behind.
A series moving through quiet roads, open landscape, and the atmosphere surrounding life on the road.
Some roads seem less about arriving somewhere and more about creating distance from everything left behind.
This series follows the quieter side of motorcycle culture. Long stretches of empty road, fading evening light, roadside pauses, worn materials, and the feeling of movement without urgency or fixed direction.
Rather than focusing on speed or performance, the series stays close to the atmosphere surrounding the ride itself: the silence between locations, changing weather, and the slower rhythm that appears once routine begins to disappear in the rear-view mirror.
Moving between landscape, documentary portraiture, and motorcycle culture, the series was photographed across quiet roads in Frasselt, Germany as daylight slowly disappeared into dusk.
Spirits and stories

Whisky is more than just a drink—it’s an experience. It carries the weight of history, the precision of craftsmanship, and the passion of those who create it.
Like the rugged landscapes where the finest whiskies are born, whisky has a raw, untamed beauty that speaks to those who appreciate authenticity. Hogshead reflects that very spirit — I had the honer to shoot een lookbook for their brand. Standing in nature, surrounded by golden fields and an open sky, much like whisky itself: pure, bold, and full of character.
At the heart of their work is storytelling. They believe in sharing the unique journey of their brands with whisky enthusiasts across the world, not just through words but through personal connections and real experiences. Whisky is not something you simply drink—it’s something you feel, something you live. It’s the warmth of a rich, peaty dram on a cold evening, the smooth complexity of a well-aged single malt, and the camaraderie shared over a glass with friends.
By engaging directly with whisky lovers, they create more than just consumers—they create fans. Through tastings, events, and immersive brand experiences, they bring whisky to life, helping people understand not just the flavors but the stories behind every bottle. From the careful selection of grains to the patience of aging in oak casks, each element plays a role in crafting something exceptional. And that story deserves to be told in a way that resonates.
Because whisky isn’t just a product—it’s a tradition, a journey, and a moment to be savored. Together, they don’t just sell whisky. They bring it alive.
In the Spirit of Fire
People
For Black Bottle Riot’s album Fire, I had the honor of creating portraits that embody the open, soulful, and electrifying spirit of their southern rock sound.
This project was more than just a series of images—it was about visually translating the raw energy, passion, and grit that define the band.
After two years of relentless songwriting, touring, and honing their craft, Black Bottle Riot was ready to hit the studio, bringing their signature blend of heart and intensity to life. Fire is more than just an album; it’s a reflection of their journey, a powerful statement of their evolution as musicians. Every song is infused with stories of perseverance, freedom, and unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll energy—something I aimed to capture in each portrait.
The images mirror the album’s dynamic character—deep, vibrant, and steeped in that unmistakable southern flair. From intimate close-ups to powerful group shots, every frame tells a piece of their story, showcasing the camaraderie and authenticity that drive their music.
Being part of this creative process was an incredible experience. Watching the band pour their soul into this project and capturing those moments of pure dedication and emotion was a privilege. Through these portraits, I wanted to give fans a glimpse into the heart of Black Bottle Riot—where passion meets music, and where Fire truly comes to life.
