This travel photographer trekked to the edge of a cliff with no protective gear, surrounded by the world's largest honeybees, to capture this shot of Nepal's honey hunters
This shot was taken near the remote village of Bhujung in central Nepal’s Lamjung district. The Indigenous Gurung community have been harvesting honey for centuries, trekking deep into the forest to collect the sticky delicacy from wild Himalayan bees. The practice was first captured by French photographer Eric Valli in 1988, and those shots have stayed with me ever since I first laid eyes on them as a child.
A fire is lit to smoke the bees out of their hives, and while the insects aren’t harmed, they turn on whoever is nearby in retaliation. I got stung multiple times and ended up with a swollen eye. Due to the smoke and swarm of aggressive bees, I could only take my camera out occasionally, but I made the best of it.As a travel photographer, my aim is to show my audience the emotions and environment of the places or people I’m visiting as they are, without distorting their reality.
