Whether it is men fishing from poles in Sri Lanka, nuns washing dishes, miners digging beneath the earth in Afghanistan, or Dalits cleaning the streets of India, work is universal, yet intensely personal. Many work in order to survive another day.

Many find their identity in the work they do. Some enjoy intense satisfaction in their work. For others, the line between work and play is hard to find.

Wow, absolutely stunning photographs. Just gorgeous. Makes me immediately want to pack my bag and go. My wanderlust and my thirst for new adventures never seem to diminish. My curiosity about people and places never seems to dissipate. And your beautiful photos do not help me in my resolution to settle down – finally. Guess I never will.

I was wondering if any great photojournalist could help me find my way into photojournalism world, I’m just starting after 3 years of pro photography, my focus was fashion but journalism has always been my dream.
How do you guys capture photos of people from places like India and Phillipine, with the language barrier being there, and i am sometimes afraid they will not like it.

Your images always speak unuttered words which are difficult to utter. Its a great learning for all sorts of photographers to tell a story in a single image.

Interesting post. I think that photograph people working and study the interactions between old man and the job they’ve done during all their life is another interesting theme to photograph.
I’m thinking about a project where I can take photographs to old people in their work environment in Italy, to preserve memories of old italian works, that we are loosing year after year.
Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures and, of course, your amazing life experience.
