123 pages shaped by curiosity, patience, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

Finding tranquillity in the wild — Henk Goossens
After four decades as a professional travel photographer, Henk Goossens has found renewed inspiration in wildlife and nature photography. From intimate woodland details to safaris in Sri Lanka, he reflects on the value of patience, careful observation, and respecting the natural world. A thoughtful journey into photography that prioritises connection, presence, and the quiet rewards of spending time outdoors.
A camera over my shoulder — Jaume Aragonès
For Barcelona photographer Jaume Aragonès, photography begins with learning to truly see. Whether exploring distant destinations or wandering familiar streets, he searches for stories hidden in everyday life. In this interview, he discusses travel, macro photography, black and white imagery, portraiture, and the freedom of working with the lightweight OM System OM‑5 and his favourite M.Zuiko lenses.
The OM‑5 Mark II wasn’t part of the plan — Marcos Thatcher
Sometimes the best decisions are the ones we never intended to make. After losing his Fujifilm camera just before a solo journey through Southeast Asia, Marcos Thatcher unexpectedly found himself purchasing an OM System OM‑5 Mark II. What began as a practical solution soon became an essential companion, accompanying him across fifteen countries and reshaping his approach to travel photography.
Opportunistic Monochrome: A landscape photographer’s journey — Aaron English
Aaron English combines his love of hiking and camping with a spontaneous approach to image-making. Describing his style as “opportunistic monochrome landscape”, he explores the inland Mountain West through black and white photography, long exposures, and visual storytelling. His work reflects a belief that some of the most rewarding photographs are discovered rather than planned.

A celebration of perseverance, observation, and the unique photographic opportunities that winter provides.
There need not be any limits — Kit Weitnauer
