T-K’áax, life in the forest.

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Since child my parents instilled me the respect for nature and fueled me with the passion to know and discover. I spend my childhood between Patagonian forests and lakes. The noise of the wind and the cold in the face, molded my spirit of adventure. The campfires filled me with stories. When I grew up that experience turned into passion and since then, I devoted much of my time to document the nature and the people living in it. The exiting experience to travel to a remote place like Greenland and work alongside Jason Edwards could be the starting point to a career as a professional nature photographer as well as keep on discovering new people, wildlife and landscapes around the word. T-K’áax (The forest), a Yucatan Maya word pronounced "Tekax" is a journey into the Maya community of Betania, where the use of natural resources follows a long term susteinable forest management. An ancestral balance between the man and nature.
