What Ties
It All Together
People sometimes ask what connects the different bodies of work — the tribal portraits of Ethiopia, the aerial landscapes of South Australia, the wildlife of Africa, the ballet dancers, the streets of Havana. On the surface, these seem like entirely different worlds. But for me, the thread is immediate and unmistakable.
Whether I am with the Suri people of the Omo Valley or watching a herd of elephants move at dusk across the open plains, I am always in the presence of the same essential quality: something extraordinary and everlasting. Something that exists on its own timescale, indifferent to the noise and speed of the world around it.
Whatever pressures, changes, or disruptions unfold beyond the frame — these subjects persist. Magnificently, quietly, completely themselves. It is that quality — that deep and enduring otherness — that keeps me inspired long after the journey is over. The images I cannot stop returning to are the ones in which I can still feel it.
