I am a British photographer focusing on social issues, human rights, the environment, and portraiture. My love for photography grew in my early twenties when I realised its ability to take me to places and people that I otherwise would not encounter, and this continues to be my motivation, whether here in London, or overseas.
I graduated with a degree in fine art photography from London Metropolitan University in 2008 and have since worked with a number of NGO's in the UK, the Kurdish region of Turkey, and South East Asia. I have worked on a number of commissions and collaborations with Kurdish Human Rights Project, Afghan Association UK, UNHCR, and Malaysian Care, along with many grassroots organisations in Malaysia, for ethnic refugee groups from Burma. As well as shooting my own photography, I also have experience as a workshop facilitator, having designed and delivered workshops for young refugees in London. My interest in educating others in the field of photography has led me to participate in training workshops with both Amnesty International and the Refugee Council, with the aim of using photography as a tool for social change.
A former Magnum Photos intern and a member of the FOTO8 team, I am also experienced in both gallery and events work.
