South America, 2019

I have continued my love affair with film. In 2019 when we decided to voyage around South America for 6 weeks, there was no question which camera with would be trusty companion. As it turned out as much as I love these I do wish I had brought my digital with me too.. I also realised my lens had developed a kind of fault which means it misses focus A LOT and there’s nothing more frustrating than thinking you nailed a shot to find out 8 weeks later when the films developed that you in fact, did not.

The things I look for when I shoot are colour, movement, composition, light, perspective, symmetry, emotions ... and most importantly a moment. It’s about seeing things differently to other people and capturing that, which is why I find photography fascinating.

On all my travels I am thinking about these things above, but also adding in an insight into another culture, place, religion, community or lifestyle.

The best travel images inspire people, bring out curiosities and broaden thoughts processes. Yep, nailing all the technical aspects AND the travel aspect is very hard…
