Where Do We Go Next?

It’s time for me to put my money where my mouth is.

I’ve been talking a lot about community. About connection. About building something that isn’t just products and presets - but real experiences.

So this is me acting on it.

Travel photography is the reason I got into this industry in the first place. Long before clients. Before campaigns. Before SHKR Club. It started with a camera, a backpack, and the feeling of landing somewhere new with your friends and no real plan, just curiosity.

That feeling changed my life. Literally.

And this year, I want to share it with you.

Turning SHKR Club Into Real-World Experiences

I could easily plan a trip somewhere like Southeast Asia. Or Turkey.

Actually - Turkey might be first.

But before I decide anything, I want to ask you:

Where do you want to go?

I genuinely believe I can go almost anywhere in the world and build an experience around it. The goal isn’t just the destination. It’s the energy. The people. The shared creative momentum.

This isn’t meant to be one-sided.

If we’re building a club, then we build it together.

A First Idea: Cappadocia, Turkey

One of my close friends, Sam Dural, owns a cave hotel in Cappadocia.

And if you’ve never seen Cappadocia at sunrise, it’s unreal.

You wake up inside a cave room carved into the stone. You open your window. And across the horizon, hot air balloons rise slowly into the sky as the sun hits the rock formations.

It doesn’t look real.

It feels like stepping into another planet.

That might be the first SHKR Club creative retreat…

Small group. Cameras out. Sunrise shoots. Real conversations. Shared meals. No surface-level networking, just creators in a place that forces you to feel something.

Why This Matters

I know how difficult it can be to get yourself to these kinds of places.

Travel like this takes planning. Access. Local knowledge. Energy.

This is what I’ve spent almost 15 years learning how to do - how to move, how to build experiences, how to make moments happen.

Now I want to open that door for you.

Not just to travel.

But to create in a way that actually changes you.

So I’ll Ask Again:

Where do you want to go?

Turkey? Southeast Asia? Somewhere colder? Somewhere chaotic? Somewhere completely unexpected?

This year inside SHKR Club is going to be different.

More real-world. More connection. More shared experiences.

Let’s build it together.
