I’m a photographer and film director known for award winning television documentaries that tell powerful, emotional human stories with respect and dignity.
I was born in Uganda and grew up in Kenya. I studied photography at The London College of Printing then post-graduate film and television at the Royal College of Art in London. My professional life has been spent making films and television documentaries for Channel 4, FIVE, the BBC, Discovery, National Geographic, WGBH Boston/NOVA, History Canada. My work means I’m well-travelled including time spent in war zones.
I’ve been making photographs since the age of sixteen when I built a darkroom in the family home in Nairobi, Kenya. My current focus is on the landscape and place, I’m interested in the layers left by history and the forces of nature, and the human attempts to control it all. I’m also a lover of silence, increasingly difficult to find.
I speak English, French & enough Kiswahili.
