Bhutan

In the land of the thunder dragon, Bhutan, I was invited to the first Mindfulness City Innovation Forum where I was honored to photograph King Jigme Khesar and Queen Jetsun Pema before the welcome speech.

My work in Bhutan centered on continuity, wisdom and presence. I documented traditional healing practices, daily village life and the relationship between people and land shaped by a long rhythm rather than the urgency we feel in the west.

The work here became less about representing a destination and more an exploration of what remains steady when everything els moves fast.

Rwanda

Visit Rwanda | Terra Nova | One&Only Resorts | Embassy of Rwanda

In Rwanda, I collaborted with the Rwanda Development Board and One&Only Gorilla’s Nest to document conservation-driven tourism at the intersection of wilderness and refined hospitality.

Photographing the Kwitonda mountain gorilla family in their natural habitat, what stayed with me was not spectacle. It was proximity. The dissolving of distance between observer and observed.

To show Rwanda’s spirit to potential travelers, we created a lived experience together with traditional dancers whose movement later became part of a traveling exhibition format combining prints and embodied performance.

In Meghalaya, I worked in collaboration with Meghalaya Tourism to document the cultures of the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia communities.

The project focused on ancestral knowledge systems.

Rather than approaching the region as an exotic frontier, I treated it as a continuity study. How culture evolves without severing its roots. How identity is held through land, craft, and collective memory.

The work resulted in a short documentary and a photographic body exploring Meghalaya not as spectacle, but as a living ecosystem of knowledge, rhythm, & relationship with the earth.

In Seychelles, I was invited by Terra Nova Tourism Marketing and Consultancy in collaboration with Air Seychelles & Seychelles Tourism Board to document the islands through the lens of experiential and community oriented travel.

Rather than focusing solely on postcard landscapes, I explored the relationship between island life, sailing culture, local communities, and the natural rhythm of the archipelago.

The project centered on redefining luxury as immersion. Granite, tide, wind, and human presence in balance.

The resulting body of work positioned Seychelles not only as a pristine destination, but as a living environment shaped by movement, water, and cultural continuity.

Invited by the Tourism Authority of Thailand to document the implementation of the COVID 19 Sandbox Program in Phuket, with the aim of photographing the careful reopening to international tourism.

Alongside documenting the structured return of travelers, I explored community based initiatives, sailing culture, and Phuket’s high end resort and culinary scene. The visual narrative balanced resilience with refinement. Caution with beauty.

The work was used for PR and media campaigns under representation efforts, positioning Phuket as a safe and desirable destination.

In Mauritius, I was invited by Beachcomber Resorts & Hotels to document the island through the lens of regenerative and community-based tourism

I focused on the relationship between land, community, and hospitality. From jungle hikes and underwater ecosystems to multicultural cuisine, I explored Mauritius beyond surface luxury.

For me, the story was about balance. Refinement and responsibility existing in the same frame.

On assignment in Lisbon for Apricoat, I photographed their latest outdoor collection across the city’s textured landscapes.

Lisbon’s tiled facades, steep streets, and shifting light became a living backdrop for practical, adventure ready apparel made from recycled materials.

The focus was movement & versatility. Clothing designed for the modern explorer navigating both urban terrain and nature.

In the Sinai Peninsula I completed three assignments. Two for Abraham Hostels in Nuweiba, and one for a scuba diving retreat in Dahab.

I documented the region’s quiet vastness. Desert light, Bedouin culinary culture, slow life, and the depth of the Red Sea.

Positioning Sinai as a meeting point between desert, ocean, and a culture that invites simplicity as a form of wellbeing.
