I am so excited to be sharing this mini project I've been working on. When I first became infatuated with photography, I practiced by photographing people on the street. Back then I used to dream about working for National Geographic, traveling the world, exploring new cultures, meeting new people and documenting my travels through my photos, and I'd be lying if I said that dream had changed. With all the time I've been spending, editing wedding and client photos, it was nice to get back to my roots and shoot some street photography.

I’ve always been fascinated with people’s eyes. It may sound cliche, but I think the eyes are a window to a person’s soul. I think that’s why some people are uncomfortable with eye contact. We’re uncomfortable, because we feel vulnerable. When I look into someone's eyes, I see their story, their experiences, their hardships and their emotional state. I see those things in the eyes of the people featured here.

I want people to feel something when they look at my photos, and I think that is a goal commonly shared with all photographers. I want to evoke emotion and I want the viewer to remember the image I was able to capture. When I look at this collection of photos, I see a range of emotions and an endless number of stories to be told. Now…, that may be the case, because I was physically there and because I connected with some of these people, but my hope is that you all are able to connect with these people as well.

“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can't feel what you’re looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” - Don McCullin

So…, without further ado, here are some of the portraits I managed to capture while traveling through Asia, many of which were taken through the window of a moving car.
