A fantastic trip to Greenland

Last week I came back from a fantastic trip to Greenland, which I believe will remain in my heart forever.

The place is spectacular.


I don’t think I’ve ever taken so many beautiful pictures in a few days.


The light, the subjects, the atmosphere.


If you know what you’re doing, if you can use the technology a camera can offer you, you get several great photos.


I was terrified I couldn’t get decent photos because we were a group of 24 people. Still, in Greenland, the golden hours last most of the day, so there’s always a free hole to isolate yourself and focus on what you’re doing and what you want to get.


A dream for a photographer, you really have time to set up correctly with the environment and take your dreams shots.


I had the opportunity to take many artistic photos, especially using a technique that looks like paintings with watercolours.


It is a photograph in which you play with a long exposure for 1-3 seconds to get the best possible movement in the waves around the ice still present in the water.


I was afraid that the black sand wouldn’t be nice to photograph, but I found it creates an even better contrast than white sand.


We had enough bad weather in the first 2 days, but the last two days were better, not great but better than the previous ones.

I spent a lot of time trying to find leading elements from ice, from wave movements to flowers.

I started posting on my Instagram page, and my number of followers exploded!

Then I looked for a flight back, I hadn’t prepared anything.


I was supposed to go back to the hotel, but I didn’t remember where he was.


It was late, I was hungry, it was probably time for breakfast.


I clicked off on the computer, the screen went off, and my phone’s alarm sounded.


It was 7:30 in the morning.


Time to get up to start the day.


It was a nice dream, an excellent virtual trip;

After more than 25 years spent between London, Warsaw, and Brussels—three cities that taught me everything except how to resist a good coffee—I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with international outlets such as The New York Times, Time Out London, and Vancouver News.
Today, I’m the Director of Urban Mood Magazine and the Editor behind Longevitimes.com, where I explore stories at the intersection of culture, photography, and longevity.
I love blending images and words to turn every piece into a small journey—authentic, original, and occasionally a little mischievous.
In recent years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Sardinia’s Blue Zone, developing expertise in longevity, traditions, and the science behind living better (and longer).
And yes—I’m also an Arsenal supporter. Nobody’s perfect. / To contact me massimousai@mac.com
