With over 30 years of experience behind the lens, I try to capture, what I call the “demise of time”, and the intricate narratives of the human experience. My work sits at the intersection of ART, commercial artistry and humanitarian storytelling, helping global brands and NGOs tell stories that resonate and drive change.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of:
Documenting Social Change: Partnering with organizations like Save the Children and Friends Without A Border to highlight critical issues like childhood malnutrition and heritage preservation.
Preserving Heritage: Producing a 50-minute documentary on the heritage of Luang Prabang, supported by the U.S. Embassy.
Authoring Visual Narratives: Publishing works such as The Soulful Click and Inside Eye, the latter exploring life within Wandsworth Prison.
My photography has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery (London) and is held in the Arts Council England collection. Today, based in Laos and Bangkok, I lead productions dedicated to providing high quality media content for the development sector and commercial clients. I am always open to collaborating on projects that require a deep, soulful visual perspective. Let’s tell a story that matters.

With a lens focused on the human experience, I have dedicated much of my career to the social and development sector. I hope that my portfolio is a testament to the power of visual media in driving social change. Through collaborations with Friends Without A Border and Save the Children we have worked hard to tackle issues from childhood malnutrition to heritage preservation. I truly hope that my evocative style captures the delicate balance between tradition and modernization, from the humanitarian to the fine art expressions in my work and now in my books as shared experiences.
