Taken at the Ka Htain festival in Hsipaw, Myanmar. The green wings of this young girls costume caught my eye as she was performing the traditional Kinnara & Kinnari bird dance with three other dancers. The Kinnari is depicted as a half-bird, half-woman creature with the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the wings, tail and feet of a swan. Looking for a more interesting angle I circled behind the young girl and then mid dance and for the briefest of moments she leaned back towards me, my instincts kicked in and I framed and focussed and fired one frame before she continued on her way. Canon 5D Mk II, 35mm f1.4L lens, 1/5000 sec at f1.4, ISO 200.

Tales of a Travel Photographer | Chasing the Light Magazine

I explain my career up until 2017, how I ended up living and working as a Vietnam based photographer and I discuss many of my favourite images taken over the years in Bangladesh, Syria, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam.
