A place is defined by its people, and this is the reason why I like to photograph them. I study world cultures by capturing people in their everyday, colourful, unique environments. I prefer to travel in countries off the beaten path in order to really experience the country and its culture. Last year my home base was in Saigon, Vietnam.
