Join me on an adventure of a lifetime to one of the last frontiers in South East Asia. I will be leading a 7 day photography workshop to one of the worlds great tribal gatherings - Naga Land, West Myanmar. We will journey from Mandalay into the Naga region to document the Naga new year festival celebrations - a once in a year event where all the Naga tribes come out of the jungle and into the community to dance and celebrate their local custom. We will be shooting and building a visual narrative through daily workshops with participants as we journey through the Naga Lands. At the end of our workshop, we will present our work via a projection to the local community in Mandalay
