rights worker.His photography focuses on human rights, using the camera as a tool
for empowerment to promote positive change and to challenge stereotypes.
Currently, he is developing a platform for "Peace Photographers" to balance out the
media focus on stories of war and social deprivation by instead depicting stories of
resolution, forgiveness and possibility. He states: "These media images become
narratives of our lives, both for the photographer and the viewer. By also focusing on
the positive, this gives us a new narrative of hope and possibility for a more evolved
humanity." He works globally for NGOs and as a freelance photographer.
