Striving for the Sublime

For the last 30 years, I have used photography as a way to engage with the world. Through long-term projects and ongoing exploration, my work focuses on what lies beneath the surface, moments, places, and people that reveal themselves slowly over time.

Embedded in many worlds, cultures, and traditions, I have been naturally driven and attracted to extreme journeys, remote places, tribes, and threatened cultures, obsessed by untold realities, rare captured moments, simple but singular realities, and yes.... striving for the sublime.

A lifelong search

My work has taken shape through a series of long-term documentary projects carried out in some of the world’s most remote regions. From the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan to the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, the rainforests of Borneo, I have focused on communities living at the edge of visibility. In collaboration with organizations such as Barefoot College, The Nature Conservancy, I have documented social and environmental transformations across India, Nepal, Asia, Central & South America. These projects include extensive work on climate change & indigenous communities

Awards

My work has been recognized across both photography and film, with international awards and selections reflecting a practice that moves between still and moving images. In photography, I was awarded 1st place in the National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest, and my work has been honored by institutions such as PDN, Applied Arts, and LUX, with multiple distinctions including a Grand Prize.

In film, my projects have been selected and awarded at festivals in Mexico City, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Toronto, and Paris. Recent work has received Best Long Documentary, as well as awards for Best Cinematography and Best Music Score. Earlier, Wakhan was selected among the Best of Show at the Étonnants Voyageurs Film Festival and received Best 1st or 2nd Documentary at the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois.
