The Quiet Side – A Transalp Photo Ride Through Hertfordshire

There’s something about slowing down — not just in speed, but in attention.

This new project, The Quiet Side, is my way of capturing what happens when you give the world a moment to show itself. These short video galleries are built around the photos I take while out riding, both on the Vespa and the Transalp. No voiceover, no fast cuts. Just the stillness of a moment and the rhythm of the road.

The first video in the series takes you through some quiet corners of Hertfordshire.
Landscapes. Riverside scenes. Odd little sights I couldn’t just ride past.

All of it set to gentle music and made with the same mindset that fuels my rides: Look around. Notice things. Don’t rush.

📍 What’s Inside:

• Photographs from the saddle of the Transalp 750
• Subtle chapters: Landscapes and Laybys, Riverside Life, and Miscellaneous Magic
• A relaxing 3-minute escape, made for those who like a quieter pace

I’d love to hear what you think — and whether this slower format works for you.

Thanks for stopping by,
