Captured in a secluded village near Pampallacta in the Andes of Peru, this photograph features the mother of the family engrossed in preparing a traditional dish. The shadows casting behind her, juxtaposed with the illumination streaming in from a side window, brought to mind the evocative ambiance found in classical Flemish paintings a style that particularly resonates in me.
As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes. Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need. Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects. Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
