Reflecting on my Future

I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Will it be productive for me? Will I have a positive future? Whilst travelling through the west African country of Guinea-Bissau I spotted this girl whose expression simply enchanted me.

I took up photography 13 years ago, and found my interest piqued by its magic, taking it up initially as a part-time hobby and then as an all-consuming life-style. My inspiration comes from the manifold different cultures across the world: the people who are part of them, the street scenes that define them, and their customs, beliefs and ceremonies. Eager and motivated to showcase what I could, I have travelled to more than 50 countries in my determination to share these unique cultures with my viewers. My work has has won numerous prestigious international photographic awards over the years.

Awards Too many to mention. Details can be found under the Awards section on my website www.ivanferrer.com
