Close to yourself like never before – a lightbox of distance

2018-06-29

The summer holiday block is upon us – the most beautiful time of the year as many go onto their well-deserved vacation. Wanderlust grows by the days. Our travel nerves make as power through the last days of the workweek –  desk empty, head empty, out of office catching the first flight.

Where do we go? To an ideal beach vacation or may it be a little more of an adventure? Close to yourself – away from everything that causes stress.

For their projects our photographers travel the world and never fail to bring us new impressive stories of freedom, silence, and distance captured in imagery that has us daydreaming:
