Welcome to the
BOW Collective

It’s been a bit more than a week since I returned from my Japan trip. Here are some thoughts from a first-time visitor of the country—things that might be useful if you’re thinking about heading to Japan in winter.

During the Craft Elite Trail Running Team Meeting in Germany, we were commissioned to create a series of natural, authentic portraits of the team’s athletes. Shot entirely in black and white and with natural light, the images strip away distractions, highlighting the personality, and dedication that define each runner.

At dawn, the Gobi Desert unfolded in silence—a world of endless dunes and shifting light. Alone in this vastness, I moved through towering sand ridges, each step sinking into the untouched landscape. The sheer scale, the solitude, the way the morning light painted the dunes—it was a moment that felt both infinite and fleeting. This photo essay is my attempt to capture that quiet, raw beauty, a reflection of a morning that will stay with me forever.

Capturing the 2024 Ultra Gobi 400km was an unforgettable experience, documenting one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges in the heart of the Gobi Desert. Over the course of several days, we followed the athletes through the vast landscapes of the Gobi Desert, capturing the grit, determination, and solitude of this unique challenge. From the early morning starts to the deep silence of the desert night, our goal was to translate the raw essence of this extreme adventure into compelling visuals.

From the work grind straight to the mountains: how we did the Stubaier Höhenweg with over 100 KM in just two and a half days on a random weekend last summer.

We were invited to shoot the spring trail running camp of Craft Sportswear.
