If No One Saw Your Photographs
Despite the flood of pictures we see on a daily basis, I still believe in a photograph’s ability to influence people’s behaviours and decisions. more

Are vloggers marching towards us like an army of the undead, insatiably overwhelming all those who dare not to join their horde? more
Giants of the Mystic forest
It’s a place that calms the mind, heals the soul and instils humility in those who walk into it. Walking among the giants makes you realise how tiny you and your problems are. more

Ethics in photography
The thorny issue of ethics and moral responsibilities in documentary photography, particularly in the case of photojournalism has been discussed many times. more
