Quiet glimpses, found moments

Stories of people and place, drawn from the flow of travel and time

I run The Journey Beyond with photographer Neale James, creating immersive photography experiences designed to slow you down, spark curiosity, and foster meaningful connection - with people, place, and the present moment.

The people in Bangladesh work hard for the paltry amount of money they earn each day. This lady was one of a small number of women carrying loads of sand off a barge in baskets on their heads. Yet, despite the heat and the manual nature of the work,
