His name is Vito. He is 48 years old hard working man from Java, Indonesia. ⠀⠀⠀ On every day basis he is going inside the crater of Ijen volcano to pick up sulphur (yellow stones which you see in a carrying cage) . ⠀⠀⠀ At once he is able to carry on his shoulders around 70kf of sulphur, hiking up from crater of volcano. ⠀⠀⠀ These hard working people dont wear mask, they just use some tissues or peace of clothing to cover mouth and nose , and not always, i would say. ⠀⠀⠀ Me and my friend tried to go down with them, but we couldnt even breath through the respiratory mask, and also smoke gets into your eyes, so it is difficult to see anything. ⠀⠀⠀ Vito is getting paid around 300k rupees, which is just above 20usd a day. To earn such amount , he needs to go twice to the very bottom of the crater and pick up heavy sulphur . After that he needs to put it on a carrying cage and bring it down from volcano peak. Takes almost whole day of hell hard job. ⠀⠀⠀ Vito says , there is no opportunity for him to have another job in this area, and this is the only job he can get nowadays to earn this amount of money. ⠀⠀⠀ Hats down to Vito and every sulphur picker in Java.

A flashlight in the darkness. Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia. ⠀⠀⠀ City of light, where you want to walk around and take image of every road crossing, as it gives some special and unique vibe. ⠀⠀⠀ Even tho i spent just under a week in this city, ill definitely come to roam around once again and create some colourful night bangers. ⠀⠀⠀ Which one out of these 3 would you choose as your favourite? ⠀⠀⠀ Let me know in the comment section below ㊗️

Nepal left some marks in my heart . Definitely a country i will visit more and more, explore it deeper and deeper. ⠀⠀⠀ So many cool images and videos are coming from this incredibly unique place. ⠀⠀⠀ And hey, its been almost 8 months since i left my country and went for the trip without a final destination. ⠀⠀⠀ And now i am in the airport again, and next stop is…?(The final destination is not India) ⠀⠀⠀ I let you guess ❤️

Amazing Rice field workers of Indonesia, Bali. ⠀⠀⠀ I am in love with first shot of this little series, like, everything was there at the right time : Light, rich colours, woman in Asian sun-protect hat, cage with rice. Love it. ⠀⠀⠀ My library of photos from the trip fulfils very quickly nowadays, so in the nearest future you will see constant photo posts, also as reels and videos. ⠀⠀⠀ Many great things are just around the corner. Cant wait to share all of it to you guys. ⠀⠀⠀ Which shot you like the most ? I bet the first one is a killer ! ♥️

Homeless people of Malaysia. ⠀⠀⠀ I have nothing to say about this image. ⠀⠀⠀ It describes so much and so little in one set. It makes me feel weird and stressed about human existence, but also it makes me feel , like i am blessed. ⠀⠀⠀ From the other hand - i feel ashamed , because i threw few coins in that bucket and asked to take a photo of that woman with her child, like i am above them, but i am not. We are all the same. We are humans.
