Our story

Hello and welcome to our site, we are Scott and Ellis, just your average couple with an obsession for travel and adventure!

Starting our journey back in 2017, we set out exploring the UK’s most stunning locations, such as, the Lake District National Park and the Scottish Highlands. It was these weekend outings that sparked our interest for exploration, and it wasn’t long before our trips took us overseas, exploring countries such as Switzerland, Iceland, Slovenia, Italy, Madeira, and many more. Seeing these incredible landscapes for the first time gave us the inspiration to pick up a camera and start capturing images of our travels. Not only did we want to share our images with everyone, we also wanted to share our stories, so in summer 2018 we decided to start up our own blog, a place where people could go to find information and inspiration for their next trip.

After spending a few years finding our way around a camera, we developed passion for bringing landscape and product photography together, we found this a fantastic way to make products pop and it wasn’t long before we found ourselves working with brands such as Bamboo Clothing, Fuel10k, Seventeen London and Revolution Race. This then led to us starting up our own photography service for brands looking to showcase their products in lifestyle, outdoor setting.

Alongside our blog and photography, we have also been developing our own products, which we are very much looking forward to sharing with everyone in the near future!

The journey has been great so far and we can’t wait to see what we do next, whether it be another adventure, a photoshoot for a new brand, or bringing a new product to the market!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story, we hope you enjoy your time visiting the site and wish you an amazing day!

All the best,

Ellis and Scott
