John and Julie

“It took 3 days of convincing for my subjects John and Julie to allow me to take their portrait. I was drawn to their unique solution of wearing mosquito nets as headdresses, to combat against the relentless flies.

‘John and Julie’ is drawn from a larger body of work documenting the people along the Basin Region.

It has become a place where friends return every year, adding to the already diverse population of the region.”
