Photographer and writer working at the intersection of human rights, social impact and nature conservation — reporting stories around the world, and producing work for the organisations trying to change these systems, from detention centres in Bangladesh to human–wildlife conflict in Gabon.
Who I am
I'm a photographer and journalist based in Geneva. My work focuses on the places where institutions and everyday life meet — detention and justice systems, community-led conservation — and the people who carry these stories.
I report and photograph for the international press, with recent bylines and commissions including The New York Times, Foreign Policy, Monocle, Guernica, National Geographic Traveler and Adventure Journal. Alongside this, I produce photography, film and writing for mission-driven organisations working on the same issues. I come to journalism from years on the implementation side of human rights and social-impact work, which shapes how I approach and understand these subjects.
Base: Geneva, Switzerland. Working languages: English, French and Spanish.

What I do
I produce photo essays, short films and written pieces — reported stories for the press, and commissioned work for mission-driven organisations that ends up in annual reports, advocacy campaigns, donor communications and public exhibitions.
Recent projects include a four-film series for the Wildlife Conservation Society in Mongolia, funded by Cartier for Nature; a Foreign Policy dispatch tracing the full length of the original Berlin-to-Baghdad railway, from Hamburg to Basra; and reporting from Greenland, Algeria and Gabon. I work under tight deadlines in complex environments and deliver editor-grade captions and metadata as standard. I also design and run storytelling workshops for partner teams.
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.
