Student Photographer
Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication)
It is as difficult as it should be to separate a land from its people. The way people are is a powerful reflection of the land that they live in. Each of my images was made as an immediate response to a momentary scene unfolding before me. Then, all of my images are ‘twinned’ at an emphatic point where the people intersect visually and gesturally with their environment. That became my way of expressing a beautiful harmony that I felt privileged to enjoy between a warm and friendly people and landscape so beautiful it all seemed endless.
Despite ancient wars, the Great Wall of China and persistent periods of unrest Mongolia and China have always maintained a massive area of land blending two peoples, in the main, Han and Mongolian; known now as Inner Mongolia with the status of Autonomous Region within the People’s Republic of China. The landscape is one of vast grasslands, desert and at the northern borders, mountainous.
