A few days after I had come back from Panama, a long time colleague from New York messaged me. We have not spoken in a long time, but have always followed each other’s paths on social media. I knew that he was doing a lot of cool things in the field of international medicine and even traveled as far as South Sudan with Doctors Without Borders. I think I might have even caught a glimpse of him on CNN 🙂 Rajeev’s message was simple. He’s started doing some NGO work in the refugee camps in Lebanon and since…
I have been thinking a lot recently about how social media affects photography and influences certain style.

Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend, I was recently able to fulfill one of…
Since I have actually acquired quite a number of people portraits over the years, I wanted to share some more with everyone on this blog. I noted that my previous entry was received very well and I cannot be more excited about that. You guys have given me more motivation to continue shooting travel portraits and people in general and as we are nearing the end of the current year, I have started writing down some travel goals for 2017. I’m secretly hoping to return to Nicaragua to shoot some additional photos for Empowerment International, I want to do…
