Hey, we are Kirsten & Daniel.

Real trips, turned into content for your brand.

We are two photographers who love to travel, and many of our days end in a van. We create photos and short-form video for brands in three worlds: travel, stays and outdoor gear.

In planning. Your brand can shape it.We build every trip around the few brands that come along, so the route, the places we stay and the shot list fit what you offer.

Why work with us?

We are two photographers with a passion for digital storytelling. On a trip we fill our memories and our memory cards: real moments, wide landscapes, long days outside.

Everything is shot and finished by the same two people, so your material stays consistent across the whole campaign. Photography first, clean, built for Reels, TikTok and paid ads. Instead of letting those frames sit on hard drives, we share them on our socials and with you.

Unique locations

We are always on the road and know where to point the camera when the light shows up.

Real moments

Real days, not staged ones. Products and places get used the way your guests and customers would use them.

The feeling of being there

Waking up somewhere new, coffee by the window, the walk to the water. We show what a trip feels like, not only what it looks like.

Who we create for

Travel

Campers, vans, road trips and destinations. We love to travel and to live in a van, so this is where we feel at home.

Stays

Huts, cabins, tiny houses and holiday rentals. Slow mornings, cosy evenings and the surroundings that make guests book.

Outdoor gear

Surf, ski, bike and camping gear, shot in use, in real weather, by people who use it every day.

Recent trips

Sunlight × Brittany · October 2026

Two weeks on the Atlantic coast, living out of a Sunlight van.

Surf at sunrise, bike trails along the cliffs, coffee in the open sliding door. The van was base camp, kitchen and changing room between sessions, and that is how we shot it.

The result is one consistent set of lifestyle, product and detail shots in warm, natural light, made for organic posts and paid social.

HEAD × Dolomites · Winter

Ski touring, powder turns and evenings at the hut.

Early starts on the skin track, steep lines under the Dolomite towers and skis leaning against the hut wall at night. The HEAD gear shows up on the way up, on the way down and in the quiet moments in between.

Shot as a mix of action, product close-ups and portraits, so the set works for a campaign as well as for the product page.

Motorhome × Alps · March 2026

A motorhome, snowed-in campsites and mountain passes.

Winter vanlife in the Alps: driving between the peaks, waking up next to the snow and heading out on skis from the door. Calm, honest pictures of what it feels like to travel this way in the cold season.
