Oman - Hud Hud Travels
Oman — what a breathtaking country, filled with hidden gems when it comes to culture, food, and sea life.
Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to film a two-week FAM trip across Oman, and what an experience it was. From the warm hospitality to the untouched natural beauty, every moment was a story waiting to be told.
KIDS WITH GUNS - LAMAYURU
After twelve months of planning and thousands of miles traveled, I finally arrived at Lamayuru Monastery in Ladakh, India—one of the oldest and most sacred monasteries in the Himalayas, home to the legendary Mask Dance Festival.
I came to photograph the ritual: the swirling robes, the masked monks, the sacred choreography of tradition.But behind my lens, something else demanded attention.Local children raced through the monastery grounds with plastic toy guns, weaving between ancient stupas and sacred spaces.
It wasn’t the story I came to capture—but perhaps it was the one I needed to see.
SANDRA - A Gypsy Story - SHORT FILM
India’s caste system is a long-standing hierarchy where higher castes have more privilege, while lower castes often face discrimination. Among them are the Kalbeliya and Bopa communities, traditionally nomadic performers once admired by royalty but now living on society’s margins.
Sandra, a Kalbeliya woman living on the outskirts of Pushkar, Rajasthan, is a single mother who supports her family by performing for tourists through music, dance, and cultural experiences. When I met her, her energy and charisma stood out, and she invited me into her community life.
I spent four weeks with Sandra and her family, documenting her daily life and nighttime transformation into a performer. The experience became the basis for a documentary about identity, survival, and the realities behind Pushkar’s tourist performances.

Water is Life - On Assignment for EBS Advisory
The severe drought in Southern Ethiopia is forcing children to walk miles each day to collect water alongside livestock and donkeys, leaving little time for school or education. In some areas, families rely on geothermal steam vents to gather water drop by drop—a process that can take up to 10 hours to fill a single 5-liter bottle.
Without access to water, children lose access to health, education, and the chance for a better future.
WOMAN IN THE WORKPLACE
On an assignment for Vuka Timber, when I realised almost half the workforce were women. It reminded me how important representation, respect, and opportunity are in every industry. Yet true equality means more than representation, it means equal opportunities, equal pay, respect, and a seat at every table.
Here’s to the women who lead, inspire, mentor, and rise while lifting others along the way.
Old Manali, India
Early morning light in the foothills of the Himalayas.
I met two friends cutting grass for their yak — a calm, patient creature they care for every day. They feed him, bathe him, and later guide him to the nearby temple, where visitors take photos with him to help the family earn a living.
Moments like these remind me how closely life, work, and devotion are woven together here.
