This fisherwoman image shot near Vientiane in Laos is part of the “Of Rivers and Mantras: the Mekong System” series which was shot using a Hasselblad medium format film camera, the film then cross processed and custom drum scanned by myself in order to ensure that the very specific analog tonal values that I desired […]

These two images were taken in the late afternoon at the Kompong Khleang floating village of the Tonle Sap Lake and are a diptych of sorts. They were both shot on the same day and feature a similar approach to image composition that I refer to as “sliding quadrants”. The sensation of being both locked into […]

The Ennachet village is tucked away in a remote corner of the rice farming countryside of the Banan district in Battambang and is accessible only by navigating dusty etched dirt roads that are intractable during the rainy season. It is here that Seth lives with her family. When her mother Savoin and father Vanny can’t […]

Kompong Khleang is the largest of the floating villages on the floodplains of the Tonlé Sap Lake and has a lost in time feel that I have been returning to and photographing for over 10 years now. The resilience of the villagers is something to behold; their capacity to survive the extreme hydrology of the […]

The province of Bạc Liêu and the tranquil town of the same name are located in the southern most region of the Mekong Delta. One of my objectives for visiting Bạc Liêu was to photograph an offshore wind farm, a vast open space where ocean, sky and these massive wind turbines intersect. These ubiquitous wind […]
