About

Welcome, and thank you for visiting. I hope the work you see here challenges and moves you.

I focus on human stories told through photo and film. I have been commissioned by NGOs to document the lives of some of the most vulnerable communities in the world, always with respect, dignity, and consent.

Each image represents more than a moment. Behind every photograph is a person with a life as complex and significant as our own. These visual narratives help organisations communicate reality and support the programmes that serve these communities.

I also bring 25 years of professional fundraising experience, ensuring that the visual work I produce aligns with the fundraising goals of the organizations I partner with. I further integrate this work with Instagram, social media, and other platforms to help grow both the donor base and public engagement for these NGOs.

My work has been recognised through Leica ‘Master Shots’, publication in ‘Black and White Photography’ magazine and as a finalist in the Siena International Photo Awards.
