Join Sophia and I as we adventure around Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile. More specifically, while I am in search of the next image to get into my portfolio. It comes at a cost though, and thats many a lost hat! Thankfully I didn't wear any hats, but I did get blown over a few times. Poor Sophia could barely stay standing at times. Such conditions make for some absolutely breathtaking photos though. The scenery certainly helps of course as it is arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Long time viewer. Rarely posting. Just wanted to say that it is nice to see you happier. I might even dare to say that it even shows in your photographs, as they are even more beautiful than ever. Bravo. Sophie seems perfect for what you do, and you guys make a great pair. A page has turned. Can't wait to see the next chapter.

While I am definitely happy, I think Patagonia might just the reason for the beautiful photos haha. Sophia is perfect.
I have to say that the last shot at your sunrise location was definitely a breath-taking moment that you managed to capture! The little waterfall coming over the rock definitely elevates it to a whole different level! Great job!
Love how Sophie has joined you! You seem so good together. And fantastic photography of course!
You sure captured some great images, great light, clouds and the waves really added some movement to normally a still reflective shot. Nice work and great video 👍😎
Alex! Absolutely epic images! You have made me want to go back to Torres del Paine in a big way. So glad to see your channel doing so well. Keep it up! And if you ever get up to the PNW let’s go shoot and make a video!

Wow. 13, 14, 16, and 17 are spectacular sir. Well done. I wonder if the prohibition has anything to do with T. Heaton. He took an image of a dead tree and then a couple years later there was a path to that tree.

No idea. But they (the locals) were very adamant about it.
Good morning Alex & Sophie 🌈Your dedication to your work is crazy! But so worth it! Those photos are spectacular. Sophie is a real trooper too. I'd be huddled in my van with a warm drink. 😄

Beautiful photos Alex, congratulations on the addition to your portfolio. They were all fantastic but my fav was the first photo in the video of the dead tree ❤ What about a small portable diesel heater for the car? I saw one not long ago and at $600 Australian I thought it was quite expensive, but I don't live in my bus. If I did, I would have one in a heartbeat. Sophia is a trooper in those conditions and appears naturally comfortable in front of the camera...she's a keeper mate 👍

She doesn't but enjoys the places and experience. Maybe some day!
Ah, yes, we got some epic light down there at the same time. Congrats on that shot at 14:00 or so -- that was some of the best light I have seen in a long time with the clouds refracting it around to the other side of the peaks--very unusual! We also got blown down a few days earlier in those 100+ kmh winds--we almost got blown off the cliff at Hosteria Pehoe into the lake. Fun times down there for sure.

With these conditions, you just have to love what you do. The results aren't bad either.
