Eagle hunters train golden eagles to assist them in hunting foxes, hares, wolves, and other small mammals. The eagles don't consume the prey; instead, they serve as a vital tool for the hunters to provide food for their families. These hunters must be exceptional horse riders, skillfully carrying a 20kg+ eagle on their arm while maintaining a perfect bond with the bird. I was deeply fascinated by the pride these hunters take in their traditions and their unwavering attachment to their cultural heritage.
As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes. Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need. Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects. Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
