Driven by an insatiable curiosity for human narratives, Pace's adventures took him to the heart of the Amazon. Here, he immersed himself in the mystical world of shamanic practices and Ayahuasca rituals, capturing the profound spirituality of these ancient traditions. This transformative experience was a catalyst for his empathetic approach to photography, revealing the deep connections between people and their environments.

Following his Amazonian journey, Pace moved to Phnom Penh, delving into the poignant stories of Khmer Rouge survivors. His time in Cambodia was marked by a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit, further enriching his photographic voice.

This project not only documented Shanghai's evolving landscape but also reflected Pace's own evolving relationship with photography.

In 2024, Pace moved to Amsterdam, inspired by the city's rich history and cultural diversity. His latest long-term project, "Amsterdam Echoes," aims to capture the ever-changing face of the city, its vibrant inhabitants, and his personal journey within this dynamic environment.
