A Women's Gaze

Meanwhile Back in Myanmar: A Women's Gaze

This woman is from the Red Lisu tribe, near Loikaw Myanmar. Her gaze
is both powerful and beautiful

I have always appreciated photography and began my own journey years ago exploring and refining my eye for seeing, respecting, and capturing the beauty around me. My journey with photography has exposed me to some amazing moments that are powerful memories that stay with me just the same. I have found myself drawn to photo essays since still photography is a powerful way to translate conditions and experiences between different cultures. I am motivated and dedicated to using my skills as a photographer to tell powerful and meaningful stories that evokes an understanding and/or action.
