#speeduptheflow

Day 2 out trying to shoot product images for @sandiskeurope. I kind of ran with the idea of "I have the best office in the world." But, I also don't want to glorify this idea too much. Yes, I have the best office in the world. But that doesn't mean we work on the beach or at cafes with epic views every day. Often, we're working in run down hotels, or bumpy buses. I remember early in my career sleeping in a shipping crate in West Africa surrounded by 30 other people and needing to open up my laptop and get some work done. Travel bloggers - myself included - have made a bad habit of glorifying this lifestyle. Yes, it is amazing. Yes, I'm happy to have a new office every week. Yes, I love it - even the struggles. But, just know that for every epic post of a view point with a laptop open and the world "today's office" inscibed, there are likely 100 other days where we battled conditions. And, you know what? Epic view or run down hotel room, I'm living my dream and as long as that's the case, I'll take either one. #BvSGreece #speeduptheflow (at Crete)

Crete, Greece. Today in Greece my task was to get out of my comfort zone. I'm fine with landscapes, and nature, even portraits and cities. But product photography has always been a challenge for me. I was way behind on an assignment for @sandiskeurope to photograph their Extreme Portable SSD, and I needed to start getting out and grabbing images. So, I rewarded myself with a cheeky landscape photography shoot before getting to work. Then, I had the SSD brave some waves and coffee. I definitely don't "love" product photography. But I embrace the challenge of it and trying to get out of my comfort zone and shoot differently to what I normally do. I encourage all photographers to get out and try different styles. If you do landscapes, shoot some street. If you photograph wildlife, find some stars and shoot astro. You'll be amazed at what you can learn and bring back with you. #speeduptheflow (at Cretea)

Not all trees are created equally! Shoot on @sandiskeurope #speeduptheflow (at Albuquerque, New Mexico)

I was sat in Joshua Tree National Park shooting a 32 minute exposure. While I waited, I was sat there under the stars editing photos and a vlog off my @sandiskeurope SSD. It dawned on me that would actually make a pretty great photo. So, when the exposure finished, I flipped the camera around to me, and this was the result. #speeduptheflow #joshuatree (at Joshua Tree National Park)

The thing about Route 66 I began to learn was don't have expectations. I expected the nostalgia and country roads. I didn't expect the colours of the painted desert. Capture on @sandiskeurope #speeduptheflow #bvsroute66 (at Painted Desert)

Some epic light above Albuquerque! Shot on a @sandiskeurope CF card. But, have been testing the new SanDisk SSD for editing the vlog, and let me just say that they are FAST! #speeduptheflow #bvsroute66 (at Sandia Peak Tramway)
