GE Nostriches 🌇 Sticking with our Laos stop on my work trip, we visited an artists house and got to see incredible art work being produced, including by this young Buddhist monk who was making paper stencil cutouts that would later be used in repainting the inside of his temple. The calm attention to detail and precision of his work was mesmerising to watch and the beautiful natural light, especially that bouncing up from the paper he was cutting, made for an incredible scene I had to watch for a while before capturing. Also, I have a new website for anyone interested in buying physical artwork… www.newtonphoto.art All thoughts and feedback welcome 🙏🏻 #photography #art #travel #boundlessliving #beborderless image
GM Nostr 🌅 We stopped at a temple in Laos on my work trip to receive a blessing from the monks. Once it was over I was hanging around in the temple as all our guests filed out, when I saw this monk come out from the main body of the temple (right of picture) and walk straight towards me. The patches of light from the windows along the corridor and the door in the background gave a sense of depth and intrigue to the picture and his natural, calm demeanour completed the scene. He then, as he reached the end of the corridor, turned to walk out of the door, the light catching his face and eye as he glanced up on his way through the doorway. #photography #borderlessliving #globalexploration #art
GE Nostr 🌇 Another shot from my work trip - this on our final stop of the trip in Malta where one excursion was to watch the gun salute. I took up my position overlooking the saluting battery and selected a fast shutter speed and high speed continuous shooting. Watching a cannon fire, even dry firing with no cannonball, is quite the experience. #travellinglife #borderlessliving #photography image
GM Nostr! 🌅 Good news… I’m still alive! After a month of work on a global private jet tour where I work as the photographer, I got back to Almaty and we decided we should head back to the UK to sort some family stuff out for my Mum. So that’s what we’ve been working on. Jess and Isla flew back two days ago, Otis and I are currently in Istanbul airport waiting for our second flight. The truck stays in Kazakhstan and we’ll be reuniting with her in January with the goal of getting in to Mongolia in late spring. So for now, you’re going to get a bit of a back catalogue from my month away working, starting with this shot of Masaai warriors performing on the beach in Zanzibar. #photography #lifewelltravelled #alternativeliving #liveborderless image
GN Nostr! There’ll be a change in content for a few weeks as I’ve parked the family and truck in Almaty and I’m flying off for a month of work. First stop - transit through Istanbul to Lisbon. So pictures from my travels incoming! #needsmust #worklifebalance
We completed the Pamir Highway and then continued looping around back in to Kyrgyzstan, so here’s a video travel fact from the Toktogul Dam. You won’t believe quite how much water that holds back! We’re putting in the kilometres right now as we head back to Almaty. I’ll then be flying out for a month of work taking me to 8 countries. Everyone else will chill out in Kazakhstan until I return and our adventures continue. #overlanding #travelfacts #kyrgyzstan
