I am a freelance British photographer focusing on reportage that covers social issues, human rights, the environment, and also on a more classical style of 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 been working with a number of NGO's and newspaper agencies in the UK, Middle East, and South East Asia. I have worked on commissions and collaborations with various NGO's including Kurdish Human Rights Project, Afghan Association UK, Refugee Week UK, UNHCR, Malaysian Care, along with many grassroots organisations in Malaysia, for ethnic refugee groups from Burma. As well as shooting my own photography, I am also an experienced workshop facilitator who has 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 longstanding member of the FOTO8 and Host Gallery team, I am also experienced in all aspects of gallery and events work.
