Against The Grain
With this project, I set out to meet individuals who are boldly living life on their own terms, defying societal expectations along the way.
Have you ever paused to wonder if there’s another way to live? I certainly have. The reality of carving your own path can be challenging, but the stories I have documented are nothing short of inspiring. They remind me that there’s a rich tapestry of experiences out there, waiting to be explored.
I believe that through meeting people and sharing their journeys, we weave a tighter community. It’s a chance to learn from one another and realise we’re not alone in our quest for meaning and happiness. This is the essence of human connection.
Nestled in Raglan — a surfers paradise on New Zealand's west coast — I’m surrounded by a vibrant community brimming with unique stories. Every encounter offers a new glimpse into life’s possibilities. Below, I’m excited to share just a few of these incredible tales. Join me on this journey of discovery!
