A Prayer In The Dark - Malaysia

Of all the photos I have from Batu Caves, outside of Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur, this portrait shot of a devotee praying in the dark is one of my favorites.

The Stare - Pakistan

There's no dramatic story here, but this young boy's face and his eyes I found haunting. We'd stopped in Pakistan as we headed east at a small roadside cafe. this young man was in the back and it was obvious that his life had been tough. His hazel eyes hold an eerie stare. I did ask for permission to create this shot. As I snapped the lens his expression did not change.

The Fire Eater - USA

We were sipping on drink's in a bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans French Quarter, when this young fire eater, started busking on the street just feet from where we were. It was time to pull out the camera gear and get snapping. We shot this with our new FUJIFILM X-T2 and are still stunned by how much depth of colour its records. The clarity is inspiring. We may have found the perfect travel camera.

The Gentle Smile - Pakistan

With a full military escort pushing east and across Pakistan, I didn't manage to capture as many portraits as I'd have liked, but this simple image is one of my favourites.

The Coca-Cola Kid - Cambodia

The uncertain gaze of this young boy on the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia is wonderful

Fragile Squat - Indonesia

A simple but powerful portrait of a young women sat on her doorstep on the Island of Flores, Indonesia. I wonder where her thoughts take her?

The Old Guard - India

This is one of my favorite portrait shots from our time in India. We'd been walking the street of Jaisalmer in India's Rajistan when I spotted this older gent. The texture of his face and the colour of his turban, for me, make the shot.

Dusting - Malaysia

This a shot of a worker spreading powdered insecticide by hand in the tea fields of Malaysia.

The Eagle Hunter - mongolia

A proud tradition of hunting with Golden Eagles raised from chicks, which still survives today.

Candle Makers - Nepal

High above Kathmandu in Nepal, inside the Swaymbhunath Temple or "Monkey Temple" as it's better known, I found two men making candles. I asked for permission to photograph them and after ten minutes of casual conversation, they agreed. The shot was tough as I didn't have my tripod and I was desperate to capture the atmosphere of the room and the dusty air lit by the skylight.

The Indian Urchin - India

I was totally captivated by this tiny and young street child in Jaisalmer India.

Candle Light Prayer - Cambodia

I sat very quietly in the temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia and as a local woman prayed. I was able to capture just a few images as we spoke and lit candles . The experience was...serene.

Working Hands At Rest - Mongolia

In the lower southern half of Mongolia, we rode to a region known as the Flaming Cliffs, a wall of mountain that is lit fire red by the setting sun each evening. We met and spoke with a local man who had given up herding sheep to whittle wood. His worn and weathered hands fascinated me.

Havana Stare - Cuba

Wandering a back street in old Havana I spotted this wonderful character drawing on the thick cigar and knew I had to photograph her. I tried to capture her using a long lens but she saw me and turned away so in the end I went up started chatting in my terrible Spanish and paid her the equivalent of 50c to snag a few images. This was my chance to test out the Fujifilm 90mm prime. The detail and results are impressive. I hope you agree :-)

String Swing - India

Walking the streets of Hampi a small town in west India I spotted this little boy with a cheeky smile. He was having the time of his life on a swing he had made from an old string that he's collected from the steaming mountain of rotting trash 1 block away. A different world?

Initiation Cerermony - Thailand

Young men in Thailand undergoing the monk initiation ceremony.

The faintest Smile - Pakistan

Riding through India the relaxed face of this local man caught my attention.

The Protestor - Argentina

On the streets of Salta Argentina a group of women protest human rights. This is the fierce look of conviction.

Touched by The Light - Thailand

In the dark halls of a Wat on Bangkok this small child plays with fresh cooked bread as light pours in from a dirty window.

Dark Seclusion - Malaysia

Deep in the dark sanctuary of Batu Caves, in Malaysia the local man sits and asks for alms.
