Stranger Things Pop-Up Shop in Paris, France

You don't necessarily expect to find an 80s inspired American shopping mall along the Champs-Élysées, but that's essentially what happened when we stumbled upon the Stranger Things pop-up shop in Paris, France. Complete with familiar set pieces, retro infused displays, and plenty of overpriced merch, this shop was everything any Stranger Things fan could possibly ask for.

Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant in Germany

Constructed in 1938, the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant in Wolfsburg, Germany is the headquarters of the Volkswagen Group and the birthplace of "the people's car". Visible from the right hand side of the train when heading west towards Hanover, the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant is a unique structure to catch a glimpse of, if for no other reason, because it's the largest single automobile manufacturing complex in the world.

A Month of Travel Shoots Across Europe

For the month of September I was having the time of my life on what I can only describe as the most elaborate, continuous travel shoot I've completed to date. With shoots taking place across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, and Scotland, there was no shortage of things to do, places to see, and experiences to capture. It was a wild month!

While content from these shoots won't really start to emerge until 2023, I did share a handful of highlights on the Editing Luke Instagram @editingluke as things were unfolding. Unlike most shoots were it feels relatively easy to sum up the adventure under a single banner or theme, I'm still reeling from just how varied and expansive this entire undertaking was. I'm going to need some time to be a bit more thought provoking - but, in short, it really was incredible.
