Timor L'Este with Oxfam

A little over a month ago I travelled to East Timor with a team from Oxfam Australia to document its projects there, my third visit in as many years. I absolutely love Timor - both East and West. It is dazzlingly beautiful and manages to cram arid hillsides, lush forest and alpine peaks between two pristine coastlines. While life there continues to be tough - most communities are completely cut off from roads, markets and services during the months of the rainy season - people are nothing if not resilient.

Here is a selection of shots taken for Oxfam:
