What Travel Photography Means to Me and My Art


For me, travel photography is an act of exploration—a means of engaging with the world through my camera, unburdened by the pressures of artistic production. It serves as a release valve, a necessary counterbalance to the intensity of my creative practice, allowing me to reconnect with the fundamental joy of photography.


Allan Sekula argued that documentary photography becomes art when it conveys a perspective, critique, or social commentary. In this sense, I view my travel photography as a form of research—an initial inquiry into the social and geographic landscapes that surround me. It is a process of observation and discovery, a way of gathering visual notes that inform and shape the critical, conceptual projects that follow.

While I do not consider my travel photography to be art in itself, it remains integral to my artistic practice. It refines my visual language, sharpens my perspective, and provides the foundation upon which deeper artistic investigations are built and statements made. This is why I choose to share it—not as a finished statement, but as part of the larger dialogue within my work.


The work here may or may not adhere to a particular structure or format. Here, you will find travel photography galleries, long form travel photography projects, unfinished photographic projects that are still in progress, and collections that don't fit elsewhere. This is my playground, my repository, my place to experiment and explore.
