This was my second time in India. My first visit, back in 2023, took me through the north. This time, I wanted something different—so I headed south.

In March 2025 I finally made it to Istanbul, a city I’d always wanted to visit and one that truly deserves its place among the best in the world for street photography.

Back in January 2023, I had the opportunity to travel to a country I had always wanted to photograph. With her vibrant colours and the diversity of people, religions, landscapes and cityscapes, India has huge appeal to photographers, and she certainly didn’t disappoint!

My first time in a Sub-Saharan African country was in Ethiopia, and to be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect. Well, yes I know, I was expecting to get ‘in the zone’ at all times and take hundreds of great pictures like I expect from all my photography trips. Not too much to ask, is it?

Myanmar was the first place where I was really exposed to street photography properly. Before those trips, my interest in photography had faded a little over a few years, but travelling there completely changed that.
