Photographer's statement: 'An Intha fisherman paddles his boat on Inle lake, Shan state, Myanmar. British photographer living in Bali, with a passion to explore different cultures throughout Asia over the last 30 years or so. A friend and colleague once said I create "Dreamscapes" the models mostly being traditional people, offering a glimpse of culture within their environment. I feel vey fortunate to have shared precious moments with the people who have worked together with me on my projects, and given me the opportunity to gain more of an understanding of their diverse cultures.'
