I am a tirelessly curious world wanderer and a travel/documentary photographer. My main passion lies in capturing disappearing ancient cultures and the human condition in unique, challenging situations.

My range of subjects is fairly broad, but whether I am photographing nomadic shepherds in India, life in the last traditional villages of Eastern Europe or sulfur miners working in a volcanic crater, my common aim is always the same - to capture the human element.

I freelance and shoot documentary photo stories on the above mentioned topics. Much of my travel/documentary photography is represented by Getty Images, while my cultural portraits, both colour and black and white are in the private collections of photo lovers and collectors worldwide.

This website should provide a general idea of what I do. For a more extensive collection of my images - check out my ARCHIVES ON PBASE.

Once or twice a year I will be running photography workshops in some of the most photogenic locations around the world. Click the ‘LEARN’ button for more information or keep yourself updated on what I’m up to in general on my ‘BLOG’.

Prints of my work can be purchased through the ‘PRINTS’ section.
