photojournalism assignments where documentary photography captures the
moments that elevate awareness, as well as travel photography where he

history with diverse human faces and fortunes. Photography works are well

Amazonians to indigenous tribes of Papua New Guinea, nomads of Arctic
regions and unique events in the middle of nowhere.
