Creativity / 21.08.2019

We left on our journey almost 5 years ago. It started as a sabbatical, but as our two-person travelling agency gained clients, and we continued clocking up more kilometres, it grew into a lifestyle. Not only has the way we travel changed – our camera gear has changed too (you guys might remember when we dropped one of our cameras in a huge puddle in Italy?) Well, as we travel with our life in four bags, it’s key for us to get the most out of the equipment we have (since we can’t really bring everything we want). Enter the Canon EOS RP mirrorless system.     Please note: this is less of a technical post, but rather an opinion piece on why...

Creativity, Entrepreneurship, Indonesia / 20.07.2019

Bali attracts photographers from all over the world, and it’s no wonder why…     We absolutely loved our time on the Indonesian island, and cannot WAIT to go back. But any photographer that roams the Earth – and is lucky enough to sustain that wanderlust lifestyle professionally, or otherwise, like we do – knows that taking that perfect shot is only half the battle. Post-production, personal branding, networking, and that lovely, lovely admin… It’s these aspects of the hustle that separate photographers in a saturated industry.     While there are some fantastic coworking spaces in Bali where you can accomplish the more mundane tasks, they aren’t spaces that have embedded the needs of the travelling photographer into their raison de’tre. Enter Genesis Creative Centre – a...

Creativity, Entrepreneurship / 22.06.2019

We often get Instagram DMs from fellow travellers (or not-yet-traveling peers) who ask us about our cameras, our kits, and what equipment we use when hopping between countries, four bags in tow. We’ll normally respond with a very detailed message, explaining the camera equipment we’ve chosen to upgrade to, the lenses we now have in our artillery, and the apps we’ve purchased for our laptops...

BE INSPIRED, Creativity, Featured, Wellness / 29.04.2018

Last week we reached a ridiculous, we-still-cannot-fathom-it milestone. Whilst flying over Vienna during our South-Africa-to-Amsterdam flight, we clocked over 384,400km traveled since leaving home originally on March 2nd 2015. It seems like a random number, but according to science, 384,400km (238,855 miles) is the exact distance between the Earth and the Moon. Travel goals for a couple who left home to see how far from home they could go?! Umm, YES! It’s taken us 3 years and 7 weeks to reach the moon. Sure, NASA or SpaceX could do it quicker, but would they have as many memories as us?! And would they have learned as much as us? Ok...

Creativity / 07.04.2018

There’s something to be said about an artist’s evolution. Some artists get into art, without knowing that they’re getting into art – they stumble into it accidentally. Some people don’t even know they have a creative layer (which is of course silly, because everyone is creative, but hey, not everyone believes it). Luckily, with the help of Instagram, a lot of people are uncovering hidden talents (or are finding their lives change) because they have been given a project to work on, or have made a public commitment to documenting something. We spent some time (ok, A LOT of time) scrolling through thousands of images, looking at some OIGs (Original Instagram Gangsters), and some of our favourite artists, photographers, and foodies...
