She greeted me on the day I went to visit her tribe (Konso). She offered me her drink which was a creamy homemade beer. It tasted like soothing oatmeal. I smiled, she smiled. It was an exchange I’m fondly grateful for.

I know absolutely nothing about fashion. True story. What I do know is that I love going to new places I’ve never been to before, connecting with the talented people that live within that culture, coming together with the common goal of creation & collaboration.

A couple of months back I was in Kenya and I was lucky enough to connect with eco-friendly fashion designer, .dosaja. We discussed shooting her classic collection lookbook at her home in Nairobi. From there I met two more super talented individuals, model & MUA .

We spent an unforgettable day shooting various pieces from Deepa’s collection. When it comes to why I got into photography, it’s usually for moments like these. We were strangers from different ends of the world before we met, now we are connected.

Taking it back to Ethiopia 2013 for today’s . I was greeted by this woman from the Dirashe region (southern Ethiopia) while working on her farm. She waived me down just to say hello and was kind enough to let me take her portrait.
