INTERVIEW South America is a vast continent that you have explored and photographed quite a bit, but your photos seem to penetrate deep into its far corners and locals. Do you have a method for exploring vast places you have never seen? I was lucky enough to spend five months in South America, which allowed me to get away from the much-fabled Gringo Trail. Generally, I find smaller towns, a few hours away from the larger cities great places to experience the ‘real’ life of countries. As fewer tourists visit these places the locals are also much more welcoming and are happy to have their photos taken. Although I dare say it’s the same in the UK too. PicsArt Monthly | 61
