ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The young son of a local fisherman poses proud in front of his boat on the remote Vava'u Archipelago in the Polynesian South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga. His uncle ferried us to this tiny little islands called Ofu. The series of pictures taken show the connection of young Tonga's kids and their Oceanic environment.

Their incredibly low environmental footprint did not stop these kids from having a wonderfully natural time in deep connection with their surroundings.

I am currently working on the “Whale Nation Project”.

The Whale Nation Project is a 100% self-funded venture. Although the genesis of the work was based on a conceptual idea, the final output will have a strong educational-driven outlook. The production leg of the project officially started on Boxing Day 2011 when a huge 55 feet long Bull Sperm Whale stranded on a North Norfolk beach.
