CABO DE LA VELA, Colombia - Until recently, the Guajira Peninsula was off limits to most visitors, and the Wayuu were notoriously independent people who made money through smuggling and drug-running. Today the area has started to open up, and many locals supplement their income through tourism, selling food and handicrafts and renting hammocks for the night to those with the means to travel.

About Me

I'm a photojournalist based in Toronto, Canada. I started working in the summer of 2010, shooting for weekly newspapers, magazines, and the web, after a year at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario. My background is in anthropology, and graduate studies took me to South America to look at social change and political empowerment. I try to bring together my anthropology and photography studies in my work, since at their best both are about looking closely to find revealing moments, so we can better understand one another's lives.
