The first week of the year is over, and I completely forgot to make any New Year's resolutions. But as they say: better late than never. So, I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote them down. "Lose a few kilos, photograph a Black-breasted Puffleg, and write more lens and...

I'm posting this week's Photography News in the last hours of 2023. Outside my windows, I can already see the fireworks of the first eager welcomers of the New Year. This morning, after a few days, the heavy, water-soaked clouds parted for a while and I closed myself in my...

Our team at Photography Life wants to wish you a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I hope you're able to spend time with family and friends this week. These last few days, I've been editing landscape photos from a hike that I did earlier this month,...
