Community media is regarded as one of the most important channels for promoting inclusive democratic participation due to its potential in reaching populations that are not easily covered by mainstream media.

Through the Democratic Empowerment Project (DEP) from 2013 to 2016, UNESCO has been strengthening community media as a platform for community dialogue, promotion of gender equality, and sustainable development.

" The new production studio, based at the Open University of Tanzania, will enhance the production and broadcasting of quality content for community outreach, acting as a platform to facilitate content production, resource sharing and increased technical capacity of COMNETA and its affiliated community radios.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY - TYPICAL KHMER'S DRESS FROM CAMBODIA

A typical Cambodia's  dress for men known as Khmer ,sometimes checkered with a scarf known as Krama .

Model:Horn Khem

The Krama has been a symbol of Cambodian dress since the first century reign of Preah Bath Hun Tean although it is not clear when exactly the krama became fashionable in the streets.

EK images

"krama" is what distinctly separates the Khmer (Cambodians) from their Thai, Vietnamese, and Laotian neighbors. 

The scarf is used for many purposes including for style, protection from the hot sun, an aid (for your feet) when climbing trees, a hammock for infants, a towel, or a "sarong". A "krama" can also be easily shaped into a small child's doll for play. Under the Khmer Rouge, all Khmer were forced to wear a checkered "krama".

Photography opened my eyes to a whole new world.Trip to Mariehamn , Åland Island - Finland

THERE was a time when I was feeling drained, depleted, small, powerless, isolated and unhappy with myself.But then I took an step forward and started to develop my 'new' hobby of taking pictures and travelling ,i remember that was on  2014 when i purchased my very first  "professional"   DSLR Camera :-) and immediately went to learn how to use it .

Schooling at Capetown school of photography ,South Africa in 2014

Two years later found my self very happy and enjoying my new hobby as a more experienced photographer ,travelling around the 'World' ,learning,meeting new people and sharing the places i see through my photographs ,I couldn’t believe that was me.

Cruising at the Baltic sea ,May 2016

" Photography opened my eyes to a whole new world. Awakened something in my soul and led me to my journey of self-realization."

Photography opened my eyes to a whole new world. Awakened something in my soul and led me to my journey of self-realization.

Coast of Baltic sea,Åland Island - Finland 

Creating the big picture vision was the first step and the creative power behind my transformation. Using my gift as a photographer and combining the law of attraction, I capture conscious photographs of my clients, not of who they are right now, but of who they aspire to become. You must first love and accept yourself and then expand it outward into the world.


Never thought that a photography could create such a butterfly effect in my life with moments of getting opportunity to see the World and meeting new people ? Now I get to share my experience with you, to inspire you to create the big-picture vision for your life through photographs that connect you to your ideal self.

1. Snap a #SOULFIE and keep in the mind the person you want to become.


Think of the person you aspire to be, the kind of life you would like to live. Do you want to be confident, healthy, successful, loved, happy? Think of what a person in that position would look like, feel like, dress like. Create it and shoot yourself according to your vision.

It’s the feeling that propels you to think about what action you can take right now to become that version of yourself in real life. It doesn’t have to be a professional image. Use your own camera, iPhone or tablet, or get someone to take the picture for you.





2. Display your best self.


Print out your photo and display it in a place that you can see it every day, even if it’s the bathroom mirror. The more it’s in your field of vision, the more likely you will keep thinking about it and start to take action to become it.




3. Act on your future.

For example, if you captured yourself as a more confident person, practice a new posture, strike up a conversation with a complete stranger, head to a networking event by yourself.

Day by day, all the cumulative actions, thoughts and behaviors will lead you to becoming the person in your photo.




Growing up I loved seeing stories of people who went from nothing to building a life of their dreams. Now that I did it for myself, I get to share my experience to inspire others to create the big-picture vision for their life through photographs that connect them to their ideal. Through that transformation, they create an authentic and empowered life.




Always keep going and know nothing is impossible - keep going !!!!
