Letters From Jordan

"This book documents a two week trip I took to Jordan in January 2025. 

It was the first stop in 6 months of traveling various countries around the world and I arrived with no expectations. As someone who works in more conventional genres of photography (sports and events) I wanted to use this trip to experiment with and hone my street photography. Inspired by greats like Koudelka and modern photographers like Eduardo Ortiz. I wanted to be brave, confident and indulgent with my photography and to not shy away when trying to capture the cultures I would be exploring. 

Shortly after landing in Amman, I was totally captivating by almost everything. The people, history, culture, the desert, everything. I had my camera on me 10 hours a day, in Amman, Madaba, Wadi Musa and of course Petra. The people of Jordan showed me a level of hospitality I had never experienced before and the country was easily the most impactful place I visited in my travels. When I returned home, I felt an obligation to put these images together into a body of work.

All art should have some kind of a message in it, and if this book has one then even I don't know what it is. My aim was just to capture everything I saw, an honest reflection of normal people existing in this specific period of time. There was no aim, no project, just documenting (and a lot of walking). I believe this is an honest and respectful reflection of the country, culture and people (and the cats)."
