DOCUMENTING REAL PLACES, REAL PEOPLE, REAL TRAVEL

The Stories Behind the Journey

This Is Somewhere began as a way to document real places, real people, and the moments that connect us across cultures. Every journey you see here — whether through film or photography — is about experiencing the world beyond the surface and capturing stories that deserve to be remembered.

 

Each print starts as a lived moment: a conversation, a celebration, a quiet sunrise, or a shared experience that reflects the spirit of a place. Through cinematic storytelling and photography, I aim to bring those moments home — turning travel into something you can feel, revisit, and live with every day.

What is "This is Somewhere?"

This Is Somewhere is a cinematic travel project dedicated to documenting culture, community, and the stories that shape how we see the world. Through photography, film, and shared experiences, the goal is simple — to explore beyond the surface and highlight the people, places, and moments that make every destination unforgettable.

 

From vibrant cities to quiet landscapes, each journey becomes both a story and a piece of art — connecting travel, culture, and creativity in a way that invites you to experience the world differently.
