edit data

I am a freelance photographer based in Asia for over twenty years. My editorial work has been published in a wide variety of international newspapers and magazines such as GEO, Sud Deutsche Zeitung, Time, Panorama, Asahigraph, Reader's Digest.

Other books are: Postcards from Vietnam, On the Dragon's Back -imp ...more
