Morocco

Five days exploring the wonders of Morocco from the peaceful pocket of El Fenn Marrakech, we walked the streets of the medina and the bustling market square Djemaa el Fna before explored further Into the Agafay desert, nestled deep inside an oasis we spent time at La Pause Marrakesh. Our last day was spent in the Atlas Mountains.

Bahamas

Greg and Paul Maillis are spearfishermen. Well, actually, they are philosophers, philanthropists, scholars and all-round amazing guys! The fact that Greg holds a new world record - 21.25 lbs for the Black Jack, Caranx Lugubris, caught with a pole spear, has brought the global spotlight onto his skills and inadvertently, to his lifestyle.

Surf Travel

Upon the crest of a wave I see
hidden memories held within.
New ones created, from every bough
on every ship, that travels bound for some new pasture.
Such hope and yet such loss,
is the ocean's promise.
It's force men think can be tamed.

Crete

I have been visiting the island of crete for over 40 years. my father was there in 1941 when the German invasion took place and he was very lucky to escape with his life. instead of surrendering he went into the mountains and fought with a band of Cretan partisans. I have actually had the great pleasure and honor of meeting a man.

New York City

The City that never sleeps. Quite literally. I don't think I've ever jam-packed so much into such a small time frame as we did in NYC. A first time for myself and my travelling companions, there is so much to see for a place that I actually found quite small in retrospect. With a population similar to the centre of London, New York is easy to navigate with its subway system and grid-like urban architecture...

Iceland

For the last eight months, the idea of this adventure had become almost an obsession, with researching, planning and preparing taking up most of my spare time. The departure day felt as if it was never getting any closer until I finally stepped off the plane to a weird sense of familiarity. It was the first time I'd set foot in Iceland but I couldn't shake the feeling that this place was somewhere I could quite happily never leave...

Cuba

Cuba is a Caribbean island nation under communist rule. It has sugar-white beaches and is dotted with tobacco fields, which play a part in the production of the country's legendary cigars. The capital, Havana, is lined with pastel houses, 1950s-era cars and Spanish-colonial architecture in the 16th-century core, Old Havana. Salsa music plays in the dance clubs and cabaret shows are performed at the famed Tropicana.

Namibia

Planning an adventure always sounds full of excitement, a daring-do attitude and just a hint of spontaneity. However, planning a trip into the inhospitable reaches of Namibia puts one on the edge of one's seat. We had avoided dwelling upon the strong probability of getting deeply and irretrievably stuck in the fine, red sands of the Namib desert, that stretches for 81,000 km, or of running out of water in probably the oldest and most deceptive deserts in the world...

Aiguille du Midi

Below The Breaking Wave.

I've always had a fascination with our world below the breaking waves. To me, it symbolizes the world that we live in today, the calm before every storm, the beauty, and the chaos. The reefs that survive and many that have gone, fish numbers are down in oceans, where others they thrive. We live in a beautiful world but we must search further to find it and work harder to protect it.

Freedom of Silence

A collection of underwater images, captured with studio, high speed sync from Elinchrom, and video light we focused on movement, the beauty of dance and the raw expression of wrestling. Personal projects by Matt Porteous and Googsi alongside Getty creative, Elinchrom and the Flash Centre.

Dogs of Studio_M

"Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What's one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully."

The Character Project

We believe the meaning of life is to find your gift, and the purpose of life is to give it away. The Character Project challenges us to think deeper, to embrace and to actively acknowledge our uniqueness by having different identities that represent us...

Aerial vision Life

Our beautiful earth is lovely to see.
Trees grow high as high as the sky.
Birds sing in the sky to tell the good earth why,
They love to fly in the sky.
The sun shines into our earth's life.
While the moon gives us light in the night.
In the earth's land forms there are people near and far,
That are playing right now on our beautiful earth's floor.
This is our earth, our beautiful earth.
