One of the questions I’m often asked is what happens between my travels. While much of my work as a photographer involves traveling the world to capture architecture, cities, and cultural landmarks, the months spent back home are just as important to the process. Those quieter periods are when thousands of photographs are reviewed, edited, and eventually transformed into finished fine art photography prints.

In 2025 I spent nearly nine months traveling, one of my longer stretches on the road in recent years. The journey included an extended trip beginning in June and continuing through late November, photographing across Europe and Asia. During those months I explored historic architecture, cityscapes, libraries, cultural landmarks, and iconic urban environments, constantly looking for new perspectives and moments that translate well into architectural photography and fine art prints.

Traveling with a camera for that length of time produces an enormous amount of work. Every destination presents new subjects, from historic interiors and grand architectural spaces to modern city skylines and unexpected street scenes. While the excitement of photography often comes from discovering new locations, the creative process doesn’t end when the trip is over.

By late November I returned to Florida in time to spend Thanksgiving with my family. After months of moving from city to city, it felt good to settle back into my Miami apartment in January and take a step back from constant travel. Since then I’ve been based in Miami, focusing on the essential part of photography that happens after the images are captured.

The winter has been dedicated to reviewing and editing the photographs I created during 2025. Long trips often produce thousands of images, and selecting the photographs that best represent each location takes time. Some of these photographs will become part of my website collections, available as museum-quality fine art photography prints, while others will be prepared for the companies that represent my work around the world.

During this time I’ve also been working on improving my website and updating the platforms where my photography is available. Maintaining a photography archive that spans more than one hundred countries requires ongoing organization and attention. I’ve been refining collections, updating descriptions, adding new images, and making it easier for collectors, interior designers, and photography enthusiasts to explore the different series that define my work.

Many people imagine that a photographer’s job is primarily about travel, but the time spent between trips is just as important. Editing, curating, preparing prints, and working with companies are all essential steps in turning a photograph into a finished piece of art. These months allow me to look back at the places I photographed during the year and carefully decide which images best capture the character and architecture of those destinations.

Miami has always been a place where I can slow down and focus on this part of the process. Over the coming months I’ll continue working through the photographs captured throughout 2025 while preparing new images to add to my collections and to share with the companies that carry my work.

My plan is to remain here through late spring, likely until May or June, before beginning another extended period of travel. Until then I’ll continue editing, curating, and preparing the photographs from last year’s journeys.

Travel may be where the photographs begin, but the time between journeys is when those images truly become finished works of art.
