I’ve been travelling for the last 4 and a half years now. Owning barely 30kgs of possessions, I enjoy a minimalist life. I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of living in South Korea, Indonesia, France, as well as travelling through much of the world. I live and breath photography – it is my sole occupation. I’m honoured to have been published in local and national magazines, including the BBC, and have written for some of the largest websites in the world. I’ve taught photography on four continents, and in two languages, and find that my passion for teaching photography is almost as strong as my passion for photography itself. Currently, I’m in South Korea on an exciting 2-year project to photograph Asia and write 2 guide books for China and Korea. My main equipment: Nikon d800 Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 Sigma 24- f/2.8 Formatt Hitech ND filters
