Bhutan, the final wall I’m sharing from my show Human: Eat. Sleep. Repeat. in Venice.

Bhutan feels like a place existing just outside of time. There is a quiet confidence in the way life is lived here, shaped by tradition, spirituality and a deep respect for the land.

What stayed with me was the calmness beneath it all. Happiness felt like something you could sense in the people, in the pace of life, and in the care given to everyday moments.

The masked dancers first drew me in, but the quieter moments became just as important. Through these photographs, I wanted to capture that balance: the mystical alongside the everyday, a country moving forward while holding closely to its heritage.

Work, rest, community and care. The rhythms that run through this whole collection, connecting lives across places that can seem worlds apart.

Exhibited at Palazzo Mora, Venice, as part of Personal Structures, European Cultural Centre.

As part of my Human Eat Sleep Repeat series for @ecc_italy , here is an array of moments from my years spent across South Asia on different assignments and explorations.

India and Sri Lanka offer an abundance of opportunities to document life — an overload for the senses, full of colour, character, culture and constant movement. India in particular, with its immense population and deep-rooted traditions, cultures and rituals, plays an important part in a series exploring the diversity and commonality of human life.

Both have become places I hold particularly dear, and it felt important that they were represented within this collection.

Currently exhibited in Venice as part of Personal Structures.

Two weeks in Cambodia shooting for the Cambodia Tourism Board.

Here is a little behind the scenes round up from an unforgettable experience. Moments to be remembered for a lifetime. From special moments at Angkor Wat to up close encounters with elephants, and all the long bus journeys in between.

Thank you, Cambodia. 🇰🇭

Striving in the land of Fire & Ice, Iceland and you’ve stolen my heart.

The rugged and majestic Laugavegur trail lived up to reputation of one of the best hikes globally, we cycled and hiked in mostly idilic conditions highlighted the beauty of country but not to say the power of the weather is ever present.

Joining 46 like minded change makers, entrepreneurs, philanthropist and business leaders pushing ourselves physically and mentally whilst supporting the relentless drive of @bigchange for a better education system.

Thank you to the exceptional speakers Big Change brought together including Iceland’s President Halla Tomasdottir who joined us for dinner and the most inspirational discussion about the future of education and AI.

Congratulations to Sam, Noah, Holly and Princess Beatrice for bringing so many people together with the same mindset, thank you Strivers for constantly adding value to my life.

Finally to Richard, thank you for all you do, represent and support in your quest to make the World a better place for all, always a pleasure striving with you.

Photo credit (all the good ones anyway) thanks as always @adamslama @studiokhonsu

The magical, raw, changing Icelandic scenery seen when hiking the #Laugavegur trail. In this place, the inner forces that support life on earth seem very close to the surface; it feels like a place where the Earth breathes.
Thank you to the @thestrivecollective_ for this opportunity to go deep in life together all in support of @bigchangecharity, and to @adamslama @studiokhonsu for the awe-inspiring photography.

A few highlights from my time in Iceland shooting with @thestrivecollective_

They really meant it when they called it the land of ice and fire.

What a wonderful, beautiful country. Explored with an amazing bunch of human beings!

I look forward to sharing the content with you all.

Jimadores, Tequila, Mexico.

Part of my Human: Eat. Sleep. Repeat. series. For @ecc_italy

These portraits were made with the Jimadores of Mexico, the skilled men and women responsible for harvesting the agave that will eventually become tequila and mezcal. Their work is physically relentless, carried out under the heat of the sun with techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Watching them work was a reminder that behind so many of the things we consume without a second thought are people whose lives are built around patience, craftsmanship and tradition. Every harvest is done by hand, every movement precise, every plant the result of years of growth before a single cut is made.

It’s easy to forget where things come from. We live in a world of instant gratification, yet so much of life still depends on people whose labour remains largely unseen.

For me, these portraits are about honouring that. A small window into lives shaped by hard work, resilience and an enduring connection to the land.

Another chapter from Human: Eat. Sleep. Repeat. a project exploring the shared threads that connect humanity across cultures, continents and ways of thinking life.

Human: Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Part of my exhibition at the European Cultural Centre, Venice Biennale 2026. @ecc_italy

This wall brings together two places that could not appear more different: a sumo stable in Tokyo and the remote island of Socotra, Yemen.

In Tokyo, I was granted rare access inside a sumo stable, witnessing a world built on discipline, ritual, repetition, training, diet, rest, and shared purpose. Every day follows a carefully structured rhythm, dedicated to the pursuit of mastery.

On Socotra, isolated between Yemen and Somalia, life is guided by a different rhythm. Fishermen and Bedouin goat herders live closely with the land and sea, where work, food, rest, and community remain at the centre of daily life. Despite the island’s remoteness and unique landscape, what stood out most was the warmth, generosity, and openness of its people.

What fascinated me was not the contrast between these places, but the similarities. Across cultures, religions, languages, and geographies, we continue to organise our lives around the same fundamental needs and desires. We work, we eat, we rest, we belong, and we search for purpose.

The further I travel, the more I am reminded that humanity has far more in common than we often realise.

Now on display in Venice until November.
