This is my 'Year Long' photography project, where every year I collate 12 images from the last year or so. In this video I show you the behind the scenes footage from every image in my calendar. These are new edits and not just a re-hash of old content. I hope you enjoy.

Seriously, who are you people who dislike this? What do you want or expect from a photographer trying (and very much succeeding as far as I'm concerned) to inspire others to grow and develop their own photography? It astonishes me... Great video, Thomas - and a wonderful year of images - thank you :)

The last 8 months have been sort of a mess for me but I finally got time to binge watch the last 8 months of your videos that I missed. So much value in every video. Pre-Ordered the Calendar. Keep rollin out that inspiration Tom.

September was my favourite. I think because it reminded me of loch fishng in Scotland in my early teens. Magical atmosphere.

I missed last year's calendar. I can't wait to get this year's. The stories behind each photo make it all the more significant! Well done. I will hang it in my office for all of my elementary students to see. They will be inspired by it I'm sure. Thank you.

I love this slow pace of cutting and editing of this video. Especially all the natual noises like wind, makes me feel also being there. Thanks a lot. Stefan Edit: And it is great to remember all the stories behind each picture. And we finally got your signature line again: "Absolutely stunnin" :D

It would be interesting to find such a place that can be expressive at any time of the year. And then the calendar could be made up of twelve pictures of one place, beautiful in its own way every month of the year.

This video brings added value to your calander. It was great to see the journey again. It's the experience, sight, smells and emotion that creates the end product. More than a memory a full experience. Thank you for all your hard work, bringing knowledge to us. It's hard to pick a fav image. My fav sound, was the crunching of the ice whilst viewing the outstanding view. Every day is a school day. Thank you.

Hi Thomas, Video request - It might be good to do a video about the things you do (or don't do) to keep your energy levels high while going on long treks and hikes up mountains. I can imagine this gets super tough during workshops that span multiple days. I think 'health as a landscape photography tool' is overlooked as a crucial element while staying in the creative flow that's necessary to produce great images. Hope you can make a video around this subject!

Long time fan and I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. I've seen each video already so I thought this would get boring, but I couldn't turn it off! Seeing a years worth of shoots like that was very cool. Some great inspiration to get out shooting even if conditions aren't desirable. Will be ordering a calander for the office as a constant reminder to get out and shoot whenever I can!!

It's all about the locations and the moods, at the end of the day. This is a great idea, to encapsulate in a video your emotional state when you took each photo. Obviously a useful marketing tool, but it's also nice for people who may not have seen the original videos, to get a feel for what was happening that day and what was in your mind. Me, I watched every video so I remember them all. I look forward to seeing the final product: ordering shortly!

April and August are so gorgeous that I feel like I'm actually standing there myself. The May composition is so strikingly beautiful; yet, if I was there I would have missed that one. I now have learned from you to look for such simple, elegant shots.

Hi Thomas!! I'm Sergio from Barcelona. I like your videos and you inspired me in a different ways. I just want to tell you that in this video, when you show February ... I recognized the place and it makes me smile, because I have been there just a few days ago and I made almost the same photo. Is the crater Bláhylur, also knows as Hnausapollur in Iceland. Gorgeous images at the summit By the way... a lot of flies in my time because there's no wind in that moment ;-). I've been in Iceland for 15 days and I would like to come again. It's an awesome country. The mother earth in pure state. Thanx for share.

I really enjoyed the audio. I was thinking about this earlier in the week - many youtubers go overboard on the "vlogging" style, talking to the camera and forgetting to "show not tell". I hope you will make more videos where you focus on the scenery, illustrating the location and letting your work speak for itself. Very enjoyable video, it's nice to look back on your work and review the great content you have been producing for us.
