    This is one of the realist and most inspiring videos I’ve seen. It makes me want to get out, take photos and explore new destinations.

    I watch this film whenever I need the inspiration, uplift or to get pumped for an adventure. It’s relatable on so many levels. Thanks for making this Alex!

    feels like a trailer to your movie

  11. @dancrandrade on August 5, 2025 at 1:33 pm

    Great video, mate.
    Keep rocking

  12. @joshtheintern on August 5, 2025 at 1:35 pm

    Oh man this hit deep, most videos will focus on the highs of this lifestyle but very few talk about the anxiety that can come from this art. Fantastic job, let’s keep pushing for those rare moments and keep growing!

  22. @KirstenQuist on August 5, 2025 at 1:45 pm

    Beautiful video!

  23. @IntricateExplorer on August 5, 2025 at 1:46 pm

    This spoke to the depths of my mud-cracked soul

  24. @nkventured on August 5, 2025 at 1:48 pm

    Thank you so much for making the video, it really speaks so much to me.

  25. @michaelfrymus on August 5, 2025 at 1:50 pm

    This is why I love to do this. I have my own car campervan, I’m always outdoors craving adventures, and I live and breath photography.

  26. @ninamoyaa on August 5, 2025 at 1:50 pm

    this is AMAZING

  27. @SgtNarrow on August 5, 2025 at 1:52 pm

    Holy sht. This video is 1000% better, more meaningful than any shallow influencer’s "live for the story" stupidness. Brilliant, thanks for sharing!

  28. @jz_es.469 on August 5, 2025 at 1:53 pm

    I don’t know if I want to pursue this I don’t know….

    I kind of want to though

  29. @fabxplore2277 on August 5, 2025 at 1:55 pm

    I really like the way you are telling your own story… very inspiring!
    What I especially like about your style is that you are not afraid of telling the truth, the behind-the-scenes that look less appealing to adventure photographers and travel lovers!
    Looking forward to discovering more of that in your latest workshop!

  30. @atechiecatubay6633 on August 5, 2025 at 1:57 pm

    wowwww so nice i love adventure, hopefully God allow me

  31. @mountainfanatic on August 5, 2025 at 1:57 pm

    Was lovely to see some of the Slovenian scenery in the video. Thumbs up.

  32. @luciaaricia4659 on August 5, 2025 at 1:58 pm

    My body is covered in goosebumps and my eyes are flooded with tears. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I’ve been looking up to you and your photography since 2012/ 13 (?) and it hasn’t changed. Thank you Alex (and the rest) for this video.

  33. @franciscosarmientonavarret4584 on August 5, 2025 at 2:00 pm

    Brother you make me cry, that’s something that I wish to become to be one day but honestly I don’t know how and I’m a little bit afraid of what expect financially speaking, fucking beautiful brother!

  34. @fotografomochileiro on August 5, 2025 at 2:01 pm

    Congrats. Nice video !!!!

  35. @GL1321 on August 5, 2025 at 2:02 pm

    Anybody have heard 9 to 5? I haven’t. Period !

  36. @jaimepulidozazo2869 on August 5, 2025 at 2:03 pm

    Mira Alex, no eres el mejor fotógrafo que conozco, tampoco el que mÔs me impresiona con las imÔgenes. Sin embargo, eres una persona que transmite, cercano, real y también un buen tipo. Creo que a veces ese valor añadido hace que brilles entre tanto montón que hace lo mismo. Sigue asi, trabajando duro. Un saludo

  37. @Wellssshhhhh on August 5, 2025 at 2:03 pm

    Whoa what a film!!

  38. @sarahpantanella5013 on August 5, 2025 at 2:04 pm

    This gave me chills. Incredible work! You’re such an inspiration.

  39. @lilleeeleee on August 5, 2025 at 2:05 pm

    Taking my first photography class next week. I’ve used a camera as a hobby for a long time, but now in my 30s I am not willing to work my life at a scheduled job anymore. And adventure photography/videography is what I am focusing on next and couldn’t feel more aligned!

  40. @PedroDVC on August 5, 2025 at 2:06 pm

    Beautiful!

  41. @manont7589 on August 5, 2025 at 2:07 pm

    wow

  42. @JulienBRUFilms on August 5, 2025 at 2:08 pm

    Inspiring level 1000000 ! I hope to meet you one day Alex šŸ™

  43. @davidharris1562 on August 5, 2025 at 2:08 pm

    Spot on

  44. @ThePhlogPhotography on August 5, 2025 at 2:10 pm

    That was epic mate

  45. @paulkr6990 on August 5, 2025 at 2:14 pm

    soo good Alex

  46. @cbondoutdoors on August 5, 2025 at 2:14 pm

    I love this! I’ve been doing adventure photography for some time now although still reasonably amateur, and it’s a very real struggle some days, finding that balance between relationships and your adventures, adding the extra challenge of making time to get the shots, but so truly worth it around every corner

  47. @martinorozcoph on August 5, 2025 at 2:15 pm

    Amazing work man! šŸ™Œ

  48. @kuferekczekolady on August 5, 2025 at 2:16 pm

  49. @itamareyal6118 on August 5, 2025 at 2:17 pm

  50. @derrynik on August 5, 2025 at 2:18 pm
