Images with soul… In 1997 Giovanna Aryafara started her own ‘buying’ business which required her to travel extensively in India, Bali, Nepal & Burma. This gave her the opportunity to travel to exotic countries and pursue her love of photography by capturing people in their natural environment and telling their story without words. Here we share some of her stunning images of the Suri Tribe.

Giovanna owns Bali homewares and lifestyle store Bungalow, and currently lives in Bali with her husband, their 4 poodles and a Bali cat.
