TTIM 28 – Japan and Bhutan with Robert van Koesveld

My guest for this episode of the podcast, Robert Van Koesveld, is a passionate travel photographer from Australia who has a deep knowledge of the culture and traditions of the geikos and maikos of Kyoto. By striving to really getting to know those women and developing an intimate connection with them, he has managed to capture some sublime images that go beyond the surface to reveal their inner world.We discussed at length about what is necessary to approach those communities and how much work and patience it took Robert to produce the images that are contained in his beautiful book, Geiko and Maiko of Kyoto. We also briefly talked about that other place that is reputed to be quite inaccessible by many, the Kingdom of Bhutan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
