SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA — PORTRAITS FROM A TEMPLE
While in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I spent some time visiting a community of novice monks and photographing them around the temple.
Known as sāmaṇera, novice monks are young boys and teenagers who enter the Buddhist monastic community and receive training in Theravada Buddhism. For some, becoming a novice is a short-term part of their religious life, while others may go on to become fully ordained monks.
I was interested in making natural portraits and capturing something of their personalities rather than creating formal or posed images. There was a real openness to the young monks, and some of the best photographs came from simple, unguarded moments.
One of the monks had arrived at the temple that same day. When I arrived, he was having his head shaved as part of becoming a novice. I photographed the process and some of the quieter moments around it, before making a few portraits afterwards.
It was a great experience to be welcomed into the community and spend time with the monks. The photographs are a small record of that time — simple portraits and moments of everyday life around the temple.
DOCUMENTARY PORTRAITS OF STATUE MAKERS - HO CHI MINH CITY
In the back alleys of Ward 12, District 6, Ho Chi Minh City, a cluster of workshops has been making religious and Buddha statues for close to a hundred years. Generations of craftspeople have worked here, and the area has become known for the trade.
I went to photograph the people working in these spaces and the environments around them — busy, cluttered places, with statues in various stages of completion alongside the tools and materials of the trade.
My interest was in the craftspeople and their work, rather than simply the finished statues. I wanted to photograph them as I found them, surrounded by the statues, tools and materials of the workshop.
It was a real privilege to be given access and to spend time photographing the people and their working environments.
ĐÀ LẠT, VIETNAM — PORTRAITS FROM VIETNAM’S FLOWER FARMS
At the high elevations of Đà Lạt, Vietnam, the cool climate makes the region well suited to growing flowers and vegetables. The surrounding hills are home to a network of greenhouses, from small locally built structures to large modern poly-greenhouses.
I visited Đà Lạt to photograph the growers and the environments in which they work. Inside the greenhouses, rows of flowers are carefully grown and tended, with people working through the different stages of planting, growing and harvesting.
I was interested in photographing the growers within these spaces and getting a sense of their everyday working lives. Alongside the portraits, I photographed the greenhouses, flowers and some of the details of everyday work.
It was a great experience to gain access to these working spaces and spend time photographing the people behind Đà Lạt’s flower-growing industry.
KAMPONG PHLUK — PEOPLE, COMMUNITY AND CELEBRATION IN CAMBODIA
This series of portraits from Kampong Phluk, Cambodia, was recently featured in ArtDoc Photography Magazine’s Being Human edition, Issue #3, 2026 — a collection exploring shared humanity across different cultures and communities.
These portraits were made during a wedding celebration in Kampong Phluk, a stilted fishing community on the floodplain of Tonlé Sap Lake in Cambodia's Siem Reap Province.
Rather than documenting the wedding itself, I was drawn to the people who make up the community — their expressions, gestures and brief moments of connection as the celebrations unfolded around them.
Made throughout the village, the series captures people of all ages in the streets, homes and communal spaces of Kampong Phluk.
The work is about community and belonging, and the familiar ways in which people come together to mark important moments — wherever they are in the world.
