Documentary Photography
My photography is a tool for dialogue — capturing stories that reveal resilience, beauty, and complexity in cultural identities. Through my lens, I explore how people live, adapt, and preserve their traditions in a rapidly changing world. My documentary work has taken me from Mongolia’s eagle hunters to communities across Asia and Europe, always with a focus on authenticity and human connection.
Tour Leader
Since 2016, I’ve been leading small-group expeditions that go beyond tourism — immersive cultural journeys designed to build understanding. Each itinerary is crafted to connect travellers with local communities through genuine exchange, respect, and storytelling. Safety, ethics, and curiosity are at the heart of every trip I design and lead.
Travel Consultant
As a travel consultant, I help individuals and organisations design purposeful travel experiences — balancing logistics, storytelling, and cultural depth. Whether it’s crafting a photo expedition or advising on sustainable operations, I combine my academic background and field experience to create journeys that are both enriching and responsible.
Public Speaker
I regularly share my experiences through talks and conferences that explore cultural diversity, creative entrepreneurship, and the power of travel to foster empathy. My approach blends personal storytelling, fieldwork insights, and practical reflections on what it means to work ethically in cross-cultural contexts.
Mentor
I mentor aspiring photographers, creatives, and travel professionals through workshops and one-to-one sessions that encourage personal and professional growth. My focus is on helping others align creativity with purpose — finding clarity, courage, and authenticity in their work and career paths.
