Waves
Is a series that delves into the lives of surfers from diverse backgrounds, capturing their profound connection with the ocean and how it shapes their concepts of happiness, personal growth, and freedom. Each interview profiles a different individual, using surfing as a lens to explore larger existential themes such as the pursuit of passion, the meaning of freedom, and the impact of nature on mental well-being.
The series aims to present a mosaic of personal stories, showing how the act of surfing transcends the sport itself, becoming a metaphor for overcoming challenges, finding peace, and building community. It explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of surfing, highlighting how this connection to the sea influences surfers' lives beyond the waves. Through intimate interviews and cinematic portrayal of surfing culture, "Waves" seeks to offer viewers an immersive look at the transformative power of surfing and its capacity to inform life philosophies and personal fulfillment.

WELDING THE GOODS
While walking though
Voskopojë a small village in Korçë country Albaina we came across this man Petrika Nikolla. Like so many of the people from his country he greeted us with a warm smile
and open conversation. A fabrication welder by trade he was working on an order commissioned by a hotel in the city. After some fluent conversation in Albanian with “my translator” (Renees' father Tane) he kindly agreed to
let me stay and take some photos of him at work. Walking into his workshop felt like taking a step back in time, a beautiful old traditional stone masonry building that complemented his basic arc welder and mask. Voskopojë or
Moscopole was once a city in the 1700’s, now a small town it's a fascinating place to walk though. Amongst its streets you discover the ancient ruins and churches that still hold connections to its past. If you, like me, love art history there are some stunning old fresco’s from the 1720’s in the churches that scatter the town
