Matt Walker, 6am Galle, Sri Lanka (TRAVEL 2026)

Street scenes around Galle, Sri Lanka. I visited Sri Lanka for the first time in February this year and spent time exploring the southern countryside of the island. During this trip, I focused on documenting everyday life in both urban and rural settings, capturing the beauty of the landscapes as well as the rhythm of daily routines. My aim was to observe and photograph authentic local culture as people began their day—street vendors setting up, commuters passing through, and the subtle interactions that make up ordinary life in this part of the world.
