EVEREST.
Sitting and just staring at tallest point of our planet was a truly emotional experience. I got to bring my best friend @camvaughne to a place that nearly claimed his fatherās life where he was able to take a moment of silence and pay his respects to this monster. This trip has changed me.
One of the greatest destinations on earth and here we are š„¹The younger me wouldnāt believe where this camera would bring me. Dream big.
Thank you @mountainhelicoptersnepal for the flight of a lifetime

Five Phinisi. One Vision.
For the first time ever, five phinisi sailing in perfect synchronicity across the waters of Komodo National Park.
A pretty special challenge to bring to life for the launch of Sessantanni 60, San Marzanoās limited-edition rosĆ©.
Very proud of what we created with an incredible team, and this being just the beginning for @findyourasri.

Long before the Boogeyman became a creature of childhood nightmares, he was simply a man of the seaā¦
A sailor. A warrior. A guardian of the spice routes, and perhaps one of the most feared seafarers the world had ever known.
In the peak of Covid, a friend and I made our way to South Sulawesi, in hopes of uncovering the story behind the name. I found myself living for months amongst Buginese shipbuilders, immersed in a culture whose relationship with the sea stretches back centuries.
The deeper I went, the more I began to understand how the legend of the āBoogeymanā (Bugi-man) found its roots in the Bugis - formidable seafarers who safeguarded the waters of the Indonesian archipelago, becoming feared by European powers attempting to navigate the famed spice routes toward the Banda Sea.
āBeware of the Bugi-manā was the term used to deter Dutch sailors from crossing these waters.
This short film was my first attempt at telling that story. It was never meant to be the finished product, but simply serve as a proof of concept - a small window into a much larger story that I had hoped to one day bring to life.
I never ended up sharing itā¦
For years, Iāve made films, chased stories, and created things that rarely made their way online, but Iām hoping to remedy that now.
As I step into a new chapter, Iām excited to start opening the archives and sharing some of the stories, places, and people that have shaped my journey.
This one began in the shipyards of South Sulawesi.
And it began with a question:
What if the monster we were taught to fear was actually the hero of a story never told? #wonderfulindonesia #natgeotravel #natgeo #indonesia #culture

Have you ever had the urge to just get up and drive? To go and explore a side of the world you barely understood and even feared? Well.. I just bought a couple motorbikes and Iām about to drive across Africa with one of my best friends. @camvaughne and I have 6 countries, around 12,500 kilometers, and about 45 days set aside to get lost in Africa, to push ourselves to the limits, and to create stories to share with our future grandkids.
Months of planning and weāre almost there. The journey is about to begin. Just waiting on our motorbike bags to be let in by South African customsā¦ Wish us luck.
Thank you to @mijlof @itsnettles @kyle_wolt @itsrubyrojas and my amazing team for helping us bring this epic crossing together š«¶š¼ā”ļø
And to @leatt_adv for joining us on this šļø

Sometimes you donāt need to have everything figured out. Sometimes you just need to go somewhere wild enough to remind yourself who the f*** you are.
Somewhere along the way, @mikkopaasi and I found ourselves deep in a crocodile-infested mangrove, voluntarily sending it into a situation that probably sounded better in our heads than it did in reality š
The ironic part of it (although not that ironic, seeing as youād have to be a bit of a psychopath to embark on a mission like this) is that I was going through some difficult moments in my life at the time. I think we both may have been looking for the same thing in our own way: a little perspective, a little adventure, and maybe a reminder that life is still pretty incredible when youāre willing to step outside of your comfort zone.
And if youāre going to do that with someone, you might as well do it with a guy whoās helped rescue people from some of the most impossible places on Earth. From the Thai Cave Rescue to more recent Laos rescue, Mikko has spent his life going where most people wouldnāt ever dare. Needless to say, I felt like I was in pretty good companyā¦ even if neither of us were entirely sure what might be lurking beneath us.
This is one of those adventures Iāll never forget. Not just because of the crocodiles, the mud, the mangroves, or the absolute insanity of it all, but because of what it represented at that particular moment in timeā¦
A reminder that sometimes when life gets heavy, you donāt necessarily need to escape it.
Sometimes you just need to send it.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible partners in adventure, @calicojackcharters - the facilitators of adventure who have consistently taken my best friends and I to places that you simply canāt experience any other way, and somehow always manage to make the impossible feel like just another day on the itinerary.
Hereās to getting lost in wild places, finding perspective in unexpected ones, and surrounding yourself with people who are always down to say, āF*** it, letās go.ā

I find that some moments truly dissolve the barrier between dream and reality.
After several days of navigation through the Banda Sea, weād finally dropped into the deep blue off Raja Ampatās remote reef edge ā hearts pounding, cameras ready ā and within minutes, we were surrounded by giants.
Eleven oceanic manta rays glided above and around us, wingspans stretching up to 7 meters wide. Time slowed. Light filtered down like golden dust, and their movements were silent poetry ā a weightless dance in the currents.
To share this with some of my closest friends ā a pod of humans drawn together by love for the ocean (and shared adhd) ā made it all the more surreal. We moved together quietly in awe, like kids in a living cathedral.
There was no rush. No chasing. Just presence.
This is why we protect. This is why we film. To remember what magic still exists ā and to ensure it lasts.

A few moments of shared beauty in devotion along the walls of Boudha Stoupa in Kathmandu š³šµ
As the first light of day touches the sacred dome of Boudha Stoupa (one of the largest and most revered Buddhist monuments in the world) life begins each day in quiet reverence. A man carries vibrant prayer flags, each adorned with heartfelt wishes and mantras, ready to be strung across the stoupa - sending blessings into the wind. Nearby, monks meticulously clean the stoupa, a morning ritual symbolizing purification and respect.
Prayer flags are a beautiful sign of tradition here. Visitors write their prayers, aspirations, or dedications along the colorful fabric. Once hung, the wind is believed to carry these blessings, spreading peace and compassion into the universe. The colorsāblue, white, red, green, and yellowārepresent the elements: sky, air, fire, water, and earth, reminding us of the harmony that binds all life.

Dimly-lit moment along the Ghats of Varanasi, the night before Holi Festival, 2022 šØ
Iāve said it before, but Varanasi is nothing short of a photographerās playground. Every moment here feels like stepping into a living canvas of spirituality and tradition. From sunrise on the ghats, where the mist rises over people bathing in the Ganges, to the labyrinth of alleyways where saffron-clad sadhus sit in quiet meditation, this city never stops offering unique stories that demand your undivided attention.
Itās a place that doesnāt just ask to be photographedāit begs to be understood. āØšø

Young monks carry on with their daily routines inside the Ancient Walls of Punakha Dzong in Bhutan š§š¹
Life as a young monk here is a rhythm of devotion, discipline, and quiet joy. From sunrise prayers to moments of laughter in the courtyards, these boys grow up surrounded by centuries of tradition. Their days are filled with study, meditation, and the simple beauty of a life dedicated to mindfulness.
In a world that moves fast, thereās something deeply grounding about the way they liveārooted in wisdom, yet full of youthful energy.

In Bali, banyan trees hold profound spiritual and cultural significanceātheyāre sacred guardians, deeply rooted in Balinese spirituality š³
Known as āpohon beringinā, they symbolize both balance and protection, often serving as a link between the physical and spiritual worlds.
On a more personal note, Iāve been fascinated with banyan trees since I was a kid. Before I was born, my dadās life was radically changed whilst living (homeless) under the expansive canopy of a banyan tree in Hawaii (story for another time).
When I was 10 years old, he brought me to that tree, and shared the story of how God changed his life on the island so many years prior. Since then, Iāve felt this strong connection and infatuation with these living, breathing monuments.
Seeing the way that Balinese revere banyan trees always brings me a strong sense of peace, with each sprawling branch holding stories of balance: of light and shadow, creation and decay, serving as a strong reminder to lifeās delicate duality.
Or I donāt know, maybe theyāre just cool lookin treesā¦ š¤·š¼āāļø

Hi, I know itās been a while since Iāve really shared consistently on here. Itās quite rare that I step in front of the lens, but today feels right to reintroduce myself šš½
Iām Camāa cultural photographer and storyteller. For nearly a decade, Bali has been my home - a place where Iāve been fortunate enough to explore the beauty of connection through my work.
In all honesty, this past year has been the hardest of my life. Behind the photos, I struggled with severe depression - something Iād never experienced before, and never imagined would ever happen to me. It was a challenging time that left me feeling empty and starving for purpose. In the shadows of that darkness, I felt lost, disconnected, unloved and unsure of a path forward.
Itās a side of the story Iāve hesitated to share, but Iāve come to realize that vulnerability is what truly connects us. And while this chapter was painful, it taught me that even in our darkest seasons, light can always find its way back through.
For me, that light came through the unwavering support of my communityāfriends who reminded me of my worth, family who stood by me, and the rediscovery of what brings me joy: photographing people and their stories. The act of creating, of diving deeper into culture, tradition, and humanity, rekindled something I thought Iād lost - my love for others, and most importantly, for myself.
This photo marks the beginning of a new chapterāone filled with intention, authenticity, and gratitude. To those whoāve followed my journey and supported my work, thank you. To those who have stood by me through the darkest of times, THANK YOU. And to anyone navigating their own challenges, I hope this serves as a reminder that healing is possible, and our passions can lead us back to the best parts of ourselves.
Hereās to connection, creativity, and the courage to keep going. Onward and upward. Suksma friends šš½
PS: these photos were from a recent trip to Nepal with some of my closest friends, trekking to the base camp of Machapuchre šļø
