From Canadian Coastlines to Hidden Corners in Europe

ByRoland Bast

Travel Photography by Roland Bast

My travel photography is woven throughout this website and often accompanies the stories I write for various publications. My work has appeared in both print and online media, capturing everything from rugged coastlines to urban details that tell a story.

I primarily shoot with a Canon 6D DSLR, a Canon R7 Mirrorless, and an iPhone 13 for some video and food photography on the go. For long exposures, I often lean into black and white filters — a style I create mostly for myself and my followers. For clients, my focus is on documenting the real rhythm of a destination — from everyday moments to signature experiences.

All photos are edited for colour, exposure and clarity in Lightroom on my MacBook Pro, and I handle every image personally, whether it’s for editorial work, social media, or publication layouts.

Unless otherwise credited, every photo on this site was taken by me and is protected by copyright. They’re not free to use, but if you’d like to purchase or license one of my images, please reach out at [email protected].
