I explain my career up until 2017, how I ended up living and working as a Vietnam based photographer and I discuss many of my favourite images taken over the years in Bangladesh, Syria, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam.

The green wings of this young girls costume caught my eye as she was performing the traditional Kinnara & Kinnari bird dance with three other dancers.

Looking for a more interesting angle I circled behind the young girl and then mid dance and for the briefest of moments she leaned back towards me, my instincts kicked in and I framed and focussed and fired one frame before she continued on her way.
