Les Alizés is back at the entrance to the Port of Leith. A 236-metre heavy lift vessel built for offshore wind farms and fitted with a 5,000-ton crane that looks completely absurd against the Edinburgh skyline. The ship is used to transport and install XXL monopile foundations for offshore turbines across the North Sea. Some of those structures weigh up to 2,500 tonnes on their own. Human beings really looked at the ocean and decided it needed industrial-sized Lego.

In the evening light the whole thing feels unreal. Steel, cables, floodlights and silence sitting at the edge of Leith while the city carries on around it.

One of the biggest working machines ever to arrive in Edinburgh. And somehow it’s parked here like it’s a normal Tuesday.

West End at twilight always feels slightly detached from the rest of the city.
The light drops gradually. Shop windows stay bright a little longer. People move through the frame without really stopping. Buses, reflections, not much long shadows, cold stone and the last bit of blue and orange in the sky before night takes over.

A small throwback to winter in The Meadows, Edinburgh.

These photos were taken in January, when the trees were bare, the light was low, and the city had that cold, sharp look it gets in winter. People still moved through the park and the streets around it, just with less enthusiasm for existing outdoors. Understandable.

Now it is almost summer, and the warmest weekend of the year so far is getting close. So this felt like a good moment to look back at Edinburgh in its colder mood.

Old stone, winter light, bare branches, and small human moments around The Meadows.

Leith Walk. Last day of April.
Low sun. Long shadows across the pavement.

The street stays busy. People crossing, waiting, moving through light and shade.
Short moments. Quick shifts. Then it resets.

A clean evening in Edinburgh. Rare kind.

Portobello yesterday.

Clear sky. Low sun. People gathering around small fires on the beach.
No rush. Just that short window when everything lines up.

Summer just around the corner.

I found taking pictures of St Monas' Pier to be truly magical! This time I explore the beauty of this zigzag pier situated in the charming village of St Monans in Fife from the shoreline, to the ever changing natural light that surrounds it. The pier offers a plethora of treats and sparks creativity.

Tym razem odkrywam piękno tej zygzakowatej przystani położonej w urokliwej wiosce St Monans w Fife, począwszy od linii brzegowej, aż po nieustannie zmieniające się naturalne światło, które go otacza. Molo oferuje mnóstwo wrażeń i pobudza kreatywność.

West End in Edinburgh is my go-to spot for street photography. History blends with modernity here, and every corner hides something interesting. I wander the cobblestone streets, hunting for the perfect shot – sometimes it’s a crooked lamp post, other times a mysterious red door. The vibe is part Noir, part Wes Anderson. I always come back with good ones – there’s something magical in this chaos.

West End w Edynburgu to jedno moich ulubionych miejsc na fotografię uliczną. Historia miesza się tu z nowoczesnością, a na każdym rogu kryje się coś interesującego. Przemierzam brukowane ulice, polując na idealne ujęcie – czasem jest to krzywa latarnia, innym razem tajemnicze czerwone drzwi. Atmosfera jest trochę jak z kina noir, trochę jak u Wesa Andersona. Zawsze wracam z dobrymi zdjęciami – jest coś magicznego w tym chaosie.

November walks with an analog camera through the streets of Brussels have a unique vibe. The crisp air, fog hovering over cobblestone paths, and the soft light of early sunsets all perfectly match the aesthetic of film photography. The city takes on a melancholic charm, and everyday scenes gain depth on film. During this time, hunting for special moments becomes a true art of observation.

Portobello promenade in Edinburgh can be truly mesmerizing. If the sun isn't hiding behind clouds the sky transforms into a canvas of gold, pink and purple hues casting a reflection on the waters of the North Sea. Walking along the shore I strive to froze these transient scenes that evoke a sense of wonder and inspiration within me.

Promenada w Portobello w Edynburgu potrafi być naprawdę urzekająca. Jeśli słońce nie chowa się za chmurami, niebo zmienia się w płótno złotych, różowych i fioletowych odcieni, które odbijają się na wodach Morza Północnego. Spacerując wzdłuż brzegu, staram się zatrzymać te ulotne sceny, które budzą we mnie poczucie zachwytu i inspiracji.
