Tibet – known as the roof of the world. A world out of balance for the last 60 years, imposed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). HH the Dalai Lama’s non-violent path to come to an agreement with the CCP has been widely covered. But who is the other Tibetan trying to find a way for a better future for Tibet? This project is about the Tibetan community based in London, their journeys and their effort to keep the Tibetan culture alive. [Read More]

Now this assignment is like the stepping stone - combining the single shots we previously worked on, into a story. I really like to create a visual narrative, not that I find it easy to do, but I have looked forward to get input on this matter.
