Travel nominee

In the Andean mountains, two shepherds assist each other daily. Amidst their tasks, I discovered their presence through melodies echoing in the valley. Despite personal trials—one widowed, the other divorced—they find shared joy. One sings with her flock, the other aids. Amidst breathtaking scenery, their resilience shines, embodying humility and courage amidst adversity. Their story reflects the enduring bond of community in the face of hardship. Shepherds play a vital role in Andean communities, preserving traditions and fostering unity. Despite temptations to abandon their way of life for urban living, these resilient Andean communities persist, holding steadfast to their age-old traditions.

As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes.

Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need through the sale of books and prints.

Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
