Reflecting on my initial years as a photographer exploring India, I remember being consumed by self-doubt and hesitation. I found myself clinging to the familiar styles of photography that my heroes had pioneered. Today, I'll continue sharing my selected images for my upcoming educational resource The Photographer's Mindset: India.

How great it feels to be out exploring for the purpose of photography again! Peru is so incredible and so unique in this regard. The geographical diversity is like nowhere I’ve been, but above all, the Andean people and their culture… What I regularly see here is special.
Ancient cultures, festivals, towering mountains and some of the most spectacular views on our planet. These things have become synonymous with Peru for me after almost 3 years of being here.
Travel is well and truly possible again in South America. South America, where my family and I still find ourselves…
If you’re in Peru and you want to truly enjoy nature, to have fun in it – the jungle without a doubt is where it’s at. We had some great family bonding moments here. In a jungle hot spring pool, Mia learned to swim. We made new friends, visited countless waterfalls, and swam some more.
The city itself was never our final destination, it was simply the direction in which we were heading. We looked to take as many side roads as possible. To explore and, to enjoy the warmth of the jungle and the myriad of rivers and waterfalls.
The jungle area of Peru is very different from the mostly desert coast. The distances between settlements are much shorter. There’s so much fascinating diverse geography – lakes, rivers, forest reserves…
I’d already been to many regions in Peru, but, I still had not really spent time in the jungle. So… that’s what I wanted to do. It’s what my family wanted to do after spending almost two months by the coast.
Much of the Pan-American Highway in Northern Peru is incredibly unexciting. Straight for tens of kilometers, it weaves its way through farms, desert, and some non-descript villages. But, mostly, it’s desert, and not the spectacular type, with huge sand dunes.
We spent absolutely magical few days in our little spot in the mountains with our friend Maxi. Now we would head into the desert and then to more desert on the coast.
As I said, when you find your little paradise spot, when you meet a great person or people, when things are just clicking – you gotta make the most of it. We decided to make the most of it and to delay our trip to the coast.
Over a year in the Sacred Valley… My camper and my new car finally ready... We finally left the area we called home for a longer period than anywhere else through the past 15 years. The plan?
Early March, and we were still making fun of Covid with our Belarusian friend. This whole thing was a joke we’d say, a scam to get people to buy masks and hand sanitizer. When she left back to Belarus, she said that things were turning mad in Europe.
