Navishka and Staffan standing beside a corrugated wall in Nairobi, Kenya

Navishka & Staffan

Nairobi, Kenya

Kenya. Wow.

Never in a gazillion years did I imagine I would find myself here, camera in hand, attempting to make photographs of a place that makes photographs feel almost inadequate.

The landscape is vast, unruly and ridiculously beautiful—Mother Nature showing off without even pretending to be modest. If there is a great creator, Kenya feels suspiciously like the pièce de résistance.

Perhaps only one human thing comes close to matching its grandeur: love.

And so, on this enormous planet, among its infinite tangle of people, I found myself documenting Navishka and Staffan. Navishka, with her Indian and Kenyan heritage; Staffan, from Sweden. Two souls whose story wanders joyfully across countries, cultures and continents.

And what a curious story it is.
