MOROCCO

Photography is how I think. Ideas start as images long before they become concepts.

Travel sharpens the way I look — slowing me down, bringing me closer to people, places, and their rhythms. I’m drawn to honest moments: light, texture, gestures, and what happens in between. It’s how I observe, remember, and make sense of the world.

Returning to Morocco

I first travelled to Morocco in 2012 — Marrakesh, Essaouira, the Sahara. It stayed with me, but I didn’t yet know why.

Years later, Morocco found me again. While travelling in Colombia in 2024, I met two women from Morocco, both travelling solo. We connected instantly and ended up moving through places together. What started as chance turned into friendship.

Back home, one of them kept telling me I had to come and visit her and her family in Marrakesh. I did. Two months later, I returned again — this time for her wedding.

Those visits changed everything. I travelled through Chefchaouen, Tangier, Tetouan, Essaouira, Agadir, Taghazout, and Taroudant — not as a visitor, but through homes, families, long meals, and shared time.

Morocco became about people first. Warmth, generosity, humour. Photography followed naturally — quieter, closer, shaped by connection rather than distance.
