Photography
I have a collection of around 30.000 chess photos from over 75 tournaments since 2013. My photos have featured on about 70 Magazine covers, and have been published in basically every chess Magazine and website.
You can find all my photos in my Webshop, but you can find some selected albums below:

You can find my complete photo collection in my webshop. A vast majority of the photos are available for download and large prints will be available soon. Most top players have been tagged in the photos, so you can easily find a photo of your favourite player.
