The Black and White Series

Seeing the world in black and white

A series of black and white images capturing Buddhist monks, novices and everyday people in Myanmar and Cambodia. They are part of a larger series of images I am working on trying to share some of my experiences in these countries.

The series includes portraits of young novices at Koh Ker, Banteay Ampil, Wat Lolei and Wat Chau Srei Vibol near Siem Reap, and scenes from Bagan in Myanmar, from a novice with an umbrella between temple columns to an old man smoking a cheroot. Several of these photographs are available as limited edition prints.
