A dream came true. A book launch and a real gallery opening, surrounded by close friends and so many amazing people. It truly was a special evening, one where I couldn’t hold back a few tears here and there.

Life hasn’t been particularly easy over the last two years, I have to admit. But I always try to turn things into something positive. And honestly, I couldn’t have done this without the people around me. Especially my girlfriend, with her endless love and support.

Thank you Haldane and Dani for giving me this beautiful venue and the space to elevate my work to another level. Last night made me realize how naturally our work blends together.

Thanks to all the riders and the people I’ve worked with along the way, for sharing these memories with me as a photographer. And thank you to everyone who came by and spent the evening with us. It truly means a lot.

Below you’ll find a short video and some photos to give an impression of the evening.
