Tanzania – Community & Resilience in East Africa
While working as a marketing videographer with Global Volunteers in the rural village of Ipalamwa, I documented the rhythms of daily life — women balancing buckets of water along dusty paths, children laughing in the fields, neighbors gathering in song. What emerged was a portrait of resilience and gratitude: a community rooted in resourcefulness, where strength is woven quietly into everyday moments.
Bali — Serenity, Spirit & Daily Ritual in Ubud
In Ubud, I photographed private portrait sessions at Samyama Meditation and Yoga Center while also documenting the surrounding serenity — quiet temple offerings at dawn, jungle paths heavy with incense, the stillness of meditation balanced with the rhythm of daily ritual. The work became both personal and cultural: a glimpse into how Bali’s landscape and spirituality are inseparable, shaping life with a sense of peace that lingers in every frame.
Jordan & Israel — Religion’s Pinnacle in the Middle East
As part of an international communications project with University of Central Missouri Study Abroad, I photographed culture across Jordan and Israel — bustling markets alive with color and noise, quiet moments of prayer, families sharing meals. The project became a study in contrast and continuity, revealing how faith, tradition, and daily ritual intertwine to shape the cultural fabric of a region considered a birthplace of the world’s major religions.
