ALT Early morning at Pasar Kebon Roek in Lombok, Indonesia 🇮🇩—a top-down frame capturing the raw energy of daily trade. Fresh fish rest in plastic basins on the floor, cash changes hands, and a local street cat weaves through the feet of shoppers. For 38 years, my camera has been a passport into the lives and places the world often forgets to see. As a documentary filmmaker, TV presenter, and photojournalist, I navigate the space between the boardroom and the frontline—capturing authentic human connection where light, emotion, and truth intersect. My work is built on a sustainable model: commercial commissions for global brands directly fund independent documentary assignments, giving space to the quiet, everyday human stories that so often go unseen.

ALT A powerful, close-up vertical documentary portrait of an elderly woman named Momo Cat at the Bamboo School sanctuary near the Thailand-Myanmar border. Her expression radiates intense resilience, warmth, and human character, with deep lines of experience etched on her face as she looks directly into the lens. The photograph features natural, raw lighting that beautifully accentuates the authentic textures of the moment, captured with a shallow depth of field that softly blurs the background to keep the focus entirely on her soulful, captivating gaze.
ALT Back on the safety of the island beach, Pak Peri sits inside his small wooden boat, meticulously inspecting, cleaning, and repairing every inch of his large net. Despite the poor harvest, he prepares his gear with unwavering care right from the deck of his vessel for the next day's attempt.
ALT A wide documentary shot of 22-year-old fisherman Pak Peri standing at the stern of his traditional, narrow wooden motorised boat. He looks focused as he steers the craft away from the shores of his remote island off the Lombok coast, heading out into a vast, calm blue ocean to begin his daily hunt for crabs.
ALT Pak Peri stands tall in his small wooden boat, shading his eyes from the harsh sun as he anxiously scans the open water. His fishing nets are missing—likely displaced by strong seasonal currents or severed by another vessel's engine—capturing the immediate, unpredictable vulnerability of artisanal fishing.
ALT Leaning over the side of his boat, Pak Peri uses a long wooden oar to steady the craft while peering deep beneath the surface. The tension is clear; replacing or repairing these lost nets represents a devastating financial blow for a young father with no economic safety net.
ALT Having finally located his displaced nets, Pak Peri begins hauling the wet mesh over the wooden side of his small boat. The dripping net is heavy, but the first sections are completely empty, signalling a difficult day ahead during the July off-season.
ALT A gritty, close-up documentary shot of Pak Peri’s hands pulling the heavy, water-logged fishing net hand-over-hand into the boat. The physical strain highlights the raw, unmechanized labour required to sustain a family in this remote island community.
ALT Pak Peri carefully untangles and clears the wet mesh as it piles into the bottom of his boat. His face shows intense concentration and quiet hope as he sifts through the net, searching for any signs of crabs amidst an otherwise empty haul.
ALT With the gruelling harvest finished, Pak Peri steers his small motorised boat back toward the white sands of his non-touristic island home. His gathered nets sit empty beside him, a quiet moment of exhaustion after hours of fruitless labour on the water.
ALT A wide narrative shot of Pak Peri working diligently on his nets on the shoreline, while another traditional island fisherman's boat pulls up onto the beach in the background—a reflection of an entire community bound to the seasonal struggles of the sea.
ALT A poignant macro photograph of one of the few solitary crabs Pak Peri managed to catch after a full day on the water. The meagre harvest is a stark visual representation of the food insecurity faced by small-scale fishers when the ocean is quiet.
ALT The day is done. Pak Peri walks away from the ocean, framed against the sandy beach as he carries his massive fishing net balanced on a wooden pole across his shoulders. He heads home to his wife and child with almost empty hands, ready to repeat the entire gruelling process tomorrow.
