In 2018, I spent six months in Mumbai, India, as part of an academic exchange programme with the NMIMS School of Business Management.

This first long-term experience in Asia deeply shaped my curiosity for the region and marked the beginning of a lasting interest in its cultures, urban environments and visual landscapes.

Photography progressively became a way to observe everyday life, capture atmospheres and document the contrasts, rhythms and human interactions that define large metropolitan environments.

The following gallery gathers photographs taken during this period and throughout subsequent travels across Asia.

Equipment: Olympus OM-D E-M5 — OM Zuiko 50mm F1.4 lens
