THIS is how you do an Apple Museum.
I got invited to the exclusive opening of the Apple Museum in Utrecht, which felt like the perfect way to celebrate 50 years of the company that has shaped my life for the past 16 years.
But this is not just another collection. Through their unique displays, the museum conveys the core values and philosophies of Steve Jobs: seeing art in technology, approaching concepts in new ways, and paying attention to the smallest details. I couldn’t stop smiling.
If you’re a fan of Apple, this is not only a must-visit, but probably one of the greatest Apple experiences you’ll ever have.
Shot entirely on Apple Vision Pro.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Starting January 6, 2026, I’m launching my first podcast: ShotoniPhone.Camera — a weekly, 12-episode series about seeing, shooting, and living photographically with the world’s most popular camera.
No scripts. No ads. No bullshit. Just honest, authentic conversations about the craft of iPhone photography—how we see, what we feel, and why we shoot.
Episodes will alternate between solo reflections and interviews with fellow shooters, artists, and creative thinkers. Each will drop on Mondays, running under 45 minutes. Recorded on Zoom (video and audio) so you can listen on Spotify or watch on YouTube.
Because photography is visual, and we should see what we’re talking about.

It was nice to try something new at the photography and video show in London this Monday. I have never tried Portrait photography, so having the show locate some models around, it was great to break the ice with my iPhone 15 Pro #shotoniphone
