Documentary photographer and writer working with NGOs, UN agencies and foundations on humanitarian, social‑impact and nature conservation stories around the globe.
Who I am
I’m a photographer and writer with a long background working on the implementation side of human rights and social-impact projects around the world. My work focuses on the places where institutions and everyday life meet (e.g., detention and justice systems, community‑led conservation) and the people who carry these stories.
Recent bylines include The New York Times, Foreign Policy Magazine, and Adventure Journal alongside assignments worldwide for mission‑driven organisations.
Base & working languages: Geneva, Switzerland · English / French / Spanish
What I do
I produce compelling stories—photo and written essays, environmental portraits and short video pieces—that fit the needs of the organisations I work with. I’m comfortable working under tight timelines and in complex places, and I deliver editor‑grade captions and metadata. I also design and run workshops and deliver bespoke training and coaching so partner teams can tell stronger stories with the tools they already have.
How I work
Where I can, I reduce the impact of my work and travel. I share my upcoming itineraries with existing partners so multiple assignments can benefit from one trip. Where it makes sense, I collaborate with trusted local partners to strengthen capacity and keep logistics light. I also set aside a fixed share of my annual revenue for environmental and social-impact projects that I believe in, while keeping donations separate from editorial reporting.
Approach and Ethics
My practice is consent‑led and trauma‑informed. People understand why I’m there and how their images may be used. I avoid visual clichés and take the time needed to understand how the people at the heart of the stories would like them to be told. I also do the work to keep context clear, and record what matters for the story—names and dates where safe, anonymity and creative alternatives to identities and faces where it’s not. I favour collaboration with local partners, and I’m rigorous about captions so images travel with their meaning intact.
