Yesterday we shared Christian's tips for photographing people - the art of connection, trust, and seeing someone for who they really are. This time, we turn the lens outward.

Landscapes ask something different of a photographer. There's no one to charm, no rapport to build. Just you, the light, and a world that won't wait. Christian has stood in a lot of those moments - on mountainsides, at coastlines, in deserts before dawn. Here's what he has to share:

01 - Use a tripod
Especially in low light. Sharpness isn't just technical - it's how a landscape holds its detail across time.
02 - Shoot at golden hour
The light just after sunrise and before sunset does things a midday sun simply can't. Softer, warmer, longer shadows. Worth the early alarm.
03 - Use a wide-angle lens
Let the scene breathe. A wide-angle pulls the viewer in and makes them feel the scale of what you saw.
04 - Focus one-third into the scene
For maximum depth of field, don't focus at infinity. Place your focus point roughly a third of the way into the frame.
05 - Use small apertures - f/8 to f/16
Unlike portraits, landscapes want everything in focus - from the rock at your feet to the ridge on the horizon.

Whether your subject is a face or a mountain range, Christian's approach is the same - show up prepared, stay present, and let the light do what it does. More from the "Around the World" series coming soon.

May is National Photography Month, and we couldn't let it pass without joining the celebration. Our founder Christian Nørgaard has spent years traveling the world with a camera, meeting strangers who became - for a moment - something more. His portraits aren't just technically beautiful. They feel honest. Here's how he does it, straight from the pages of his "Around the World" e-book.

01 - Connect before you shoot
Make eye contact. Smile. Introduce yourself. Trust is the only lens that never distorts.
02 - Focus on the eyes
The eyes carry everything. If they're sharp, the rest of the portrait can breathe.
03 - Use natural light
A window. Open shade. Light that doesn't announce itself is usually the right light.
04 - Choose the right lens
A short telephoto like 85mm lets you keep some distance - enough to let a face be itself.
05 - Watch the background
Simplicity keeps the story where it belongs. A cluttered background is a story arguing with itself.

Photography has no borders - and neither does the love of a great portrait. Happy National Photography Month to all our friends. May your subjects feel seen, and your frames feel true.

Working alongside Steve McCurry is not simply about learning photography - it is about understanding how to see.

For more than a decade, Better Moments and Steve McCurry have built a unique collaboration, creating workshops around the world designed for photographers who seek more than just great images. These workshops are built on access, trust, and a shared philosophy: photography is about presence, patience, and human connection.

Participants are not placed in large groups. Instead, they work in small, focused teams, rotating throughout the day. This ensures that every photographer spends dedicated time in the field with Steve-observing, learning, and working side by side in real situations.

There are no staged scenes.
No shortcuts.

Only real moments, unfolding naturally.

Evenings are where the experience deepens. Through image reviews and lectures, Steve shares insights from a lifetime of work-refining not just technique, but the ability to create images with depth, meaning, and lasting impact.

This is what defines a Better Moments workshop with Steve McCurry:

Not a tour.
Not a course.

But a rare opportunity to work closely with one of the world’s greatest visual storytellers - and to develop your own photographic voice in the process.

There are moments in the field that stop you completely still.

Hasselblad Master photographer Tom D Jones found one such moment in the vast savannahs of Kenya - a matriarch and her family, gathered close, trunks and tusks and trust, all distilled into a single frame.

Every wrinkle tells a story. Every eye holds a world.

This October, we're going back.

Better Moments – Kenya True Wildlife Workshop
Join us in one of Earth's last great wild places, alongside world-class photographers, for an experience that will change how you see - and how you shoot.

Limited places. Kenya doesn't wait.

This autumn, Christian Nørgaard presents one of his most ambitious exhibitions to date.

From September 26 through December 2026, Cultuurcentrum Hasselt (Belgium) will host a large-scale exhibition featuring more than 100 of Nørgaard’s most significant works from the past decade.

This exhibition is a journey through time, culture, and human presence - a carefully curated selection of images captured across some of the most remote and visually powerful regions of the world.

It is not simply a collection of photographs.
It is a body of work that reflects years of dedication, access, and storytelling at the highest level.

The exhibition is proudly supported by Sandisk and ZEISS-two global partners whose contributions made it possible to bring this project to life.

Together, they represent a shared commitment to quality, precision, and visual excellence.

This will be one of the most extensive exhibitions of its kind in the region - and a rare opportunity to experience Nørgaard’s work at scale.

Most people see Greenland in a single frame. We see it in three dimensions.

From the deck of a private boat threading through the Ilulissat Icefjord, you're eye level with icebergs the size of buildings. On land, guided hikes bring you to viewpoints carved by Inuit history and Arctic geology - places where scale and silence do the storytelling. And from a private helicopter, the ice cap opens up beneath you: fractures, geometry, and white stretching further than the eye can follow.

Throughout the workshop, you shoot with the Phase One XT camera system (€8,000 value), led by Hasselblad Master Landscape Photographer Tom D Jones - whose images you see here, shaped by decades of work in the world's most unforgiving light.

Greenland doesn't reveal itself to the passive observer. Come find out what it gives to the ones who show up ready.

It's all about timing and trust. You don't get a laugh like that from someone who's performing for the camera - this gorgeous woman has forgotten it's there, and that's entirely Ana's doing.

Collecting photography is more than acquiring an image — it is investing in a story, a moment, and a piece of visual history.

At the same time, it is one of the most meaningful ways to bring art into your space — living with images that continue to grow in both emotional and artistic value over time.

Christian Nørgaard has collaborated with ZEISS on a series of images for their global campaign featuring the latest ZEISS Otus lens.

The project reflects a shared commitment to precision, storytelling, and uncompromising image quality.

Shot across diverse environments, the campaign highlights what defines both ZEISS and Nørgaard’s work: clarity, depth, and the ability to capture moments that feel both immediate and timeless.

The ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35 lens is known for its exceptional sharpness, micro-contrast, and rendering qualities that demand a photographer capable of translating technical excellence into emotional impact.

This collaboration is not about equipment alone.
It is about vision.

About creating images where every detail matters-from light and composition to the subtle human presence within the frame.

Through this partnership, Christian Nørgaard continues to work at the highest level of photographic storytelling, contributing to a global visual narrative shaped by one of the most respected optical brands in the world.
