A solitary white church with a red roof and steeple stands on a dark hillside beneath dramatic, moody skies in Vík, Iceland. A single bird soars above as mist and low clouds partially obscure the surrounding mountains, with a hint of red and blue light breaking through the stormy atmosphere

A small, picturesque church—St. Johann in Ranui—sits in a peaceful meadow at the edge of a dense pine forest in Val di Funes, Italy. Towering, jagged peaks of the Dolomites rise dramatically behind it, partially shrouded in mist and low-hanging clouds. The black-and-white composition enhances the moody, ethereal atmosphere of the alpine scene.

Hey Angela, thanks very much. I was scouting the location in the distance, Baula Mountain and got lost, very happy I did

A group of Icelandic horses graze on a vast, rugged plain under a dramatic, dark sky. In the distance, snow-covered mountains glow in soft light, creating a striking contrast between the illuminated peaks and the shadowy landscape. A few small buildings are visible near the base of the hills, adding a sense of scale to the remote and atmospheric Icelandic setting.

A father sits by his child’s hospital bed. The child rests with an eye patch, The man looks straight at the camera — strong, weary, and unmoved by pity. It’s a portrait of endurance in the face of pain.

A young girl in Bangladesh sits in deep shadow, her face softly lit with quiet emotion. Behind her, a boy peers through metal bars, his eyes searching. The light and framing evoke a feeling of separation, longing, and quiet resilience

Three figures sit together — two men, one with a child asleep on his lap, the other resting back with a calm gaze. A fourth child leans forward, deep in thought. The image is rich with unspoken bonds, fatigue, and waiting.

A man holds his young daughter close, their bodies framed by a fading patch of light. He looks into the lens with steady presence, while the girl nestles into him, eyes lowered. The moment feels protective and tender.

thank you colleen, very happy you think so!

An elderly Ethiopian Priest stands against a bare wall, draped in dark robes and holding a cross. The light falls softly across his face, revealing depth, history, and quiet dignity in the stillness of his presence

A Tanzanian girl in a patterned dress sits upright on a wooden bench, hands gently clasped. The room is stark, the light focused, isolating her in a moment of stillness. Her gaze is calm but carries the weight of silence.

A boy stands beneath an eye chart, cast in soft shadow. Light pours through a barred window beside him where a young girl looks in, her expression quiet and curious. The scene feels like a moment between worlds.

Two women sit side by side, one gazing away in thought, the other with a faint smile, hand resting under her chin. A triangle of bright light on the wall casts long shadows, giving the scene both tension and intimacy.

I’ve chased likes and polite nods at pretty landscapes. Truth is, I don’t like most of what I do. Portraits are different — raw, human, unpredictable. They won’t trend, but I tell my kids: do what you love, explore, no regrets. So… here goes.
