I'm Forrest
Your local citizen of the world.
Every photo here is a window into a place I’ve stood, felt, and experienced. These prints aren’t just art, they’re part of a journey.
A journey to see more of the world, to document its raw beauty, and to give back to the people and places that have shaped these moments.
Each image belongs to a specific country series and is limited to just 21 editions. When you buy a print, you’re helping fuel the next chapter of more stories, more faces, more life and making a difference along the way.
So who is Forrest?
I'm a boy from South Africa with a deep love for travel, raw experiences, and capturing real life through a lens.
So far, I’ve made it to 41 countries, most of them in the developing world, not because I chase chaos, but because I’m drawn to the places where life is lived out in the open.
I want the grit, the dust, the joy, the stillness, the struggle, and the colour of everyday existence, not the polished version, but the honest one.
When I was 16, I lived on a catamaran for a year, sailing through the Caribbean while doing homeschool. That year shaped everything. It taught me how much of the world exists outside the systems we grow up in, and how much I wanted to go find it.
I’m not someone chasing luxury or glam. I like my comforts, sure, but I’d rather be knee-deep in mud, hiking through remote mountain passes, sitting with locals in a small market, or learning how to survive in the Amazon than sipping champagne at a resort.
I’m drawn to the real side of the world, the rawness, the stories, the textures, and that’s what I try to show in my photography.
This collection isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about people and places that made me stop and feel something. If these prints stir something in you, if they make you curious, make you feel present, or make you wish you were there, then I’ve done what I set out to do.
