In the summer of 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to visit my friend, Alex Mertens, who is living in San Jose, California. Arriving at his place, I was immediately struck by the surrounding beauty—vast landscapes and endless adventures awaited. One of the most memorable days was when we ventured into the nearby redwood forest, a place that felt like stepping into another world.

The towering trees, the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy, and the serene atmosphere were nothing short of magical. We captured some breathtaking photos and filmed content for my first major video project, Life. The light in the forest was absolutely stunning, creating the perfect backdrop for our creative endeavors. I can't wait to return and immerse myself in the beauty of this place once more, ready to explore and capture even more of its magic.
