United States of America
The United States is a land of infinite contrasts – from the bustling cities to the quiet wilderness, from towering mountains to expansive deserts. My journey through this vast country offered countless photographic opportunities and memorable moments. Join me as I take you through the landscapes, cities, and cultures of the USA."
My experience in USA
My journey across the USA began in the southwest, where the Grand Canyon stretched endlessly into the horizon. Capturing the changing colours of the canyon at sunset was a surreal experience – the depth and beauty of this natural wonder are simply unparalleled.
From the remote beauty of the canyon, I headed to the heart of New York City, where the energy of Times Square felt like stepping into another world. The lights, the people, the constant movement – all of it made for some dynamic and fast-paced photography.
For an unforgettable stay near the Grand Canyon, I recommend El Tovar Hotel, or for exploring NYC, check out the New York City Pass to get the best access to landmarks.
Next, I ventured into Monument Valley, a place where the red rocks and towering buttes make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a classic Western film. The early morning light painted the landscape in hues of gold and red, creating an incredible contrast against the blue sky.
No trip to the USA would be complete without visiting the vibrant city of San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge emerging from the mist is one of my favourite scenes to capture, a symbol of the city’s beauty and spirit. From there, I travelled to New Orleans, where the soulful sound of jazz filled the streets and gave me a chance to capture the heart of America’s music scene.
As I continued my journey, the diversity of the USA became even more apparent. The autumn colours in the Great Smoky Mountains created a fiery display that was a joy to capture, while Yosemite National Park offered some of the most dramatic natural landscapes I’ve ever seen. Watching the sun set behind Half Dome is something I’ll never forget.
I also made a stop at Mount Rushmore, where the iconic faces carved into the granite reminded me of the incredible history that shapes this nation. Every place in the USA feels like it tells a different story, and that’s what makes it such an inspiring place to photograph.
From the iconic cities to the remote wilderness, the USA offers a photographic journey unlike any other. I hope these stories and images inspire you to explore this incredible country and capture its beauty for yourself.
