"Mirror mirror on the bike"
Amid the lively chaos of a bustling procession in Kathmandu, a quiet blue-walled alley offers a rare moment of stillness. Silhouettes of passersby drift by, painting the scene with fleeting motion. An elderly man appears, observing the festivities in silence, his reflection caught in the shine of a nearby motorcycle. For a brief moment, calm settles within the city’s whirlwind of energy.

Feline Harmony was captured at a local fisherman's port in Turkey in June 2024. During the summer months, when fishing regulations keep the fishermen ashore, cats roam freely in search of food and companionship. The image portrays black cats resting on white plastic sheets and a white cat amidst dark fishing nets, creating an unexpected and candid Yin and Yang effect.

'My Heartlands'
Shortlisted for the Life Framer 'STREET LIFE' award
"A collage of still imagery, movement and man-made structures form the foundations of this street postcard. However, it’s the low sunlight casting shadows from faceless subjects that enamours the viewer. A photograph created by someone who enjoys the nuances of daily life and endeavours to capture the poetic elements without focusing directly on people." – LIFE FRAMER
