Marcel Proust once said that “the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes” and never has this been true more than today. With a billion images being created every single day, with social media bringing them to all our fingertips, never has a new, a different, vision been more necessary. Do I think I’m the person to provide it? I certainly try to be.

After more than 80 countries, many international awards (you can find some here) and the incredible good fortune of having worked for the amazingly talented and passionate people over at National Geographic, Lonely Planet, GEO and many other organisations, a fresh, different, more paced and thoughtful approach is what I hope comes through my images. Using my images as a storytelling medium, I hope to do more than just present a beautiful image - I hope to sensitise and to bring the audience closer to my subjects, make them a part of these myriads of stories. Because we need this - as a species. We need to grow closer, not further apart, to band together so we can all live together.

After more than 30 years with a camera, I would venture to say that I am a very experienced travel and special assignment photographer and, I’d like to think, educator.  Currently based in London, I constantly travel the world - either for myself or through various assignments - constantly in search for these elusive stories frequently hidden by inconvenience or buried under social media Likes. Storytelling is about the people and their stories, not about me - if I come back from a month in the Amazon with a single image someone will look at and ask to know more, then I have been successful. If they tell their friend about it - and about the story of the people in it - the whatever I may have gone through to get it, was worth it.
