Over the course of 11 years, photographer Matt O'Brien explored the side of Colombia that usually gets ignored.

"As a photographer and a human being, I am not drawn to violence and misery, I am drawn to beauty, and I found a lot of beauty in Colombia," O'Brien told Business Insider.

His book, "No Dar Papaya", portrays a positive look on the country that is often portrayed in a negative light. The book will be released for the first time in the US on July 20.
