CHLOE MAGAZINE Description: INDONESIA. Ubud, Bali. June 6th, 2013. The Ubud Market is a multi-storey bustling labyrinth of shops and stalls that sell everything from incense and small trinkets to saffron and durian fruit. Early mornings are the best time to catch the market buzz, as locals arrive to buy items for their daily offerings and family meals. A few months later I had landed in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand to study traditional Muay Thai Boxing martial arts. Over three months of training, I focused on developing my photographic skills through disciplined self-study and documenting my progress. Next, I moved to Southern Thailand where I spent three months learning to freedive and sail as competent crew, completed my certification for PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and began shooting professional photographs underwater.
