Backpacked: Explore New Zealand Through The Lens Of A Belgian Photographer

1

If you are a lover of Highsnobiety‘s Snobshots then the name Michiel Pieters and his Instagram handle @mchlptrs might sound familiar to you. The young Belgian fashion photographer is currently backpacking New Zealand with his friend Yvo Dezeure, who often models for him. They decided to document their trip on Tumblr. On BACKPACKED you can follow the duo and explore the incredible landscapes of New Zealand trough the lens of Michiel Pieters.

During their trip the young fashion aficionados also met up with I Love Ugly founder Valentin Ozich, Travis Gumbs & Joshua Kissi of Street Etiquette and shot an editorial for UK streetwear label Adyn at the top of Mount Ngauruhoe. Why put business before pleasure if you can mix them both, right? Enjoy some pictures of their trip below and make sure to follow the rest of their trip on Tumblr.
