Documentary Photography

Documentary Photography tends to be about allowing real life events unfold before the camera and capturing the decisive moment that gives narrative to the subject.  However, sometimes that approach is not enough to convey certain ideas and a more filmic approach is required to effectively encapsulate and communicate that notion. Documentary photography is about intent, the storytellers' purpose

to document, inform or educate.

Hidden in the Pak Song jungle of Southern Thailand lies a place of piece, relaxation, reflection and learning. The Eco-Logic Resort is a Yoga Retreat like no other, they are the main sponsor of the Thai Child Development Foundation, whose main aim is to bring care and education to the local community's less privileged.  I was fortunate enough to be invited to their school, set up to assist children from the local community with mental and physical disability, who are unable to attend the village school.  Here they have the opportunity to learn life skills and are provided with an education that most of us take for granted.

For millennia stories have been passed from generation to generation, playing the important role of education in Aboriginal culture. From a young age these stories are meticulous recited to teach about everything from the land in which they live to their history and culture. Geological records have shown that some of these oral traditions have remained unbroken for at least 7000 years, as many stories from coastal regions recount events of displacement & disappearance of clans due to rising sea levels. These stories have remained accurately told for so long due to the Aborigines unique social structure,  method of oral repetition and inclusion of art & performance.

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic I was forced to cut short my time in Borneo and return to the UK. However, once travel restrictions have lifted I plan to return  and hope to bring you a series of short stories seldom told to strangers, a visual recount of some of Sabah folk law tales.
