Japan Travel Film: 30 days

Blog fam! I've finally released my Japan film! Yeah it only took four months, but it's finally here! It took a long time to edit because of a multitude of problems and difficulties. I have a lot of thoughts on the whole process of making this film that I want to do a detailed blog post on so please stay tuned for that.

The purpose of this travel film is to compliment all my photography that I have been pushing out via Instagram @itchban. If you've been following me there, this film will hopefully mean more to you as it's kind of like a BTS video / travel film.

Please check it out. Let me know what you think in the comments below. (Like, comment, subscribe :)

Photography samples

Hi friends! I present to you my hands on & first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (and sample photos to match). Please check out my YouTube video above if you haven’t already. Pretty excited about this update. Samsung have updated the ultra-wide 0.6x lens to it’s 50MP sensor with an improved aperture of f/1.9 which should help with resolution, sharpness and low light performance quite a bit.

3 days in Mt Fuji
3 days in Mt Fuji

Friends! I got some photos (and a vlog) for you from a weeked trip away to Mt Fuji. We head to Mt Fuji for the weekend to chase some Autumn colours (with Fooj in the back obviously). If you have never been to Mt Fuji, be warned that depending on the time of year, it might not always be visible. It is kind of crazy thinking about how huge the mountain is and how it can just hide from you so easily in the clouds. I was once told by a tour guide that Mt Fuji is female because she likes to hide from you and will only appear if you are nice. Click through for more word and some photos to match.

Solo Travelling New Zealand: Queenstown to Milford Sound
Solo Travelling New Zealand: Queenstown to Milford Sound

Come with me as I solo road trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back. I stayed at an epic Airbnb in Queenstown and finally shot a full night (10 hour) astro photography sequence. I am also pretty sure I caught Venus, Mars AND a meteor shower in the astrolapse. I also do the epic drive to Milford Sound TWICE in two very wildly different conditions. Watch here:
