I Traveled Through Asia For 5 Months And This Is What I Captured

My name is Chris König, I’m a self-taught photographer. It had been a dream to travel to Asia for a long time, even before I discovered photography.

I am now 22 years old and after I finished my bachelors I couldn’t wait any longer to go there and capture everything: diversity of different cultures, nature, portraits. I just wanted to wander around, because there is so much beauty to be explored. This is what I saw in those months.
