Captures from the Bosphorus Strait. One of most strategic and busiest waterways in history connecting the Blacksea to the Mediterranean. As a student of history, being there has been a lifelong dream of mine.

A few horizontal shots to defy Instagram’s vertical obsession. Six countries—Poland, Norway, France, England, Romania, and Sweden—crammed into one photo series. Summer brought the heat, winter brought… well just today, shivering vibes.

This year my camera and I headed to the Norwegian fjords to film Hanna taking on the toughest triathlon in the world—Norseman. Spoiler: she smashed it! 💪

What a season it’s been—filming the Olympics, T100 London, and now Norseman within 10 days. Three legendary triathlons, each so different but so epic. Here are a few highlights, but the full film’s up on and mine. Check it out 🎥🙌

Here’s another batch from the Olympic video (and a few photos) assignment—what a ride! Mostly athletics this time, featuring one of the top sports and the city at its absolute peak. Paris has never been this alive!

Looking back, running has been woven into my life since the early days with my grandpa. It’s the ultimate multitool: keeps you healthy, fit, and ready to dabble in other sports. Plus, it’s a travel hack—nothing beats a sunrise running tour of a new city before the world wakes up! 🌍☀️

Despite its endless benefits, my training consistency has been, uh, “unique.” I’ve managed maybe 3 months of decent effort at a time—tops. Started with my grandpa, made it to the national federation, and had four phases with four different coaches. Each came with its own flavor of suffering—long, middle, and short distance. 🏃‍♂️💨

But let’s be real, the best part? The friendships forged on the track and memories stamped all over the globe. From Guatemala to Taiwan, Costa Rica to Sweden, Italy to France, Switzerland to Germany. Running isn’t just a sport; it’s a passport. ✈️🌍🇬🇹🇹🇼🇨🇷🇸🇪🇮🇹🇫🇷🇨🇭🇩🇪

Took a few sneaky photo breaks to give my forearms a breather from a 3-hour tennis session. Armed with a vintage manual focus lens—because who needs auto when you can have chaos? Much harder, much funnier, highly recommend 🎾

A true legend in front of the lens.
No pressure at all, right? 🌍🏆

Not bad for our first Spartan Race!

After years of inventing creative excuses to dodge the mud, I finally took the plunge. Feels like just the right mix between a half Ironman and Hyrox, with a little extra dirt for good measure 🤏

Ironman Kenting over the years

Race mode’s been on holiday this year, but gearing up for my first Spartan race has dusted off some treasured memories with truly remarkable people—half spent behind the camera, half racing.

equally brutal, equally rewarding. Honestly, I still reckon taking photos is more exhausting than the actual race. But, of course, training for the race? That’s where the real sweat kicks in.

🍎 + 💦 + 🧗🏼 = 🔑

Capturing moments with a 24mm lens and immersive fpv, exploring the lush jungle, rappelling down a waterfall, and enjoying every step with a great crew.

Living the dream! 💭

First Olympics on assignment with Sony, covering my top sports—athletics and triathlon. Here are a few snaps: 85% video, 10% selfies at Stade de France, and 5% actual photos. All shot with prime lenses, because why make it easy?

11/10/2024

Open water in fresh conditions, taking a moment to recharge with nature. We got the manual focus just right, snapped a few shots before diving in for the real swim.

Captured with and a 40-year-old vintage lens. Wearing keeping things comfortable for the swim ahead.

Picture this: deep in a tropical jungle, rain pouring down, and you’re with friends, trekking through thick foliage, following the winding river like it’s some ancient quest. Completely soaked, mud everywhere, but feeling more alive and reinvigorated!

29/09/2024

Crossing paths with great people, sharing passions, and capturing it all through an old-school, manual-focus lens (quirks included!). It’s all about acroyoga and celebrating 30th on a memorable afternoon 🖼️

New discoveries in my acroyoga journey: defying gravity, unlocking body hacks, and finding muscles I never knew existed.

With top-tier advice from the pros , who needs wings? Fancy giving it a go?

I know IG isn’t really made for long-form content, but here’s a mini-movie/docu-style deep dive into the powerhouse that is Lucy Charles-Barclay.

Reflecting on some of the year’s standout moments—so much to be thankful for! From tropical heat to Nordic chills, it’s been a whirlwind of miles, memories, and creative adventures with amazing brands. Oh, and here’s Grandpa, casually racing at the World Championships at 89 years young. Talk about a masterclass in perseverance and grit! This legend is proof that age is just a number.
