In 2014, I was commissioned by the Papua New Guinea Tourism Board, in collaboration with Cameo Media in Sydney, to cover the historic Kokoda Track - a 100km walk where, in 1942, the Australian army, assisted by a large number of Papuan forces, successfully halted the Japanese advance and pushed the enemy through the mountains.The goal of the project was to document the life along the Kokoda Track and capture portraits of its inhabitants. The project was complemented by a public relations campaign, which featured two Australian beauty queens walking the trail, with the aim of inspiring more women to participate in this adventure.
