The sun sets over newly built apartment blocks in Tianjin, northern China.

Off-roading between Ethiopia and Kenya
Getting from A to B isn't always the easiest, especially when humanitarian support projects are hundreds of miles from the closest tarmac. The off-road 4x4 is the staple of aid-work transport in remote areas, allowing for the safe and secure passage of essential...
Candid England
A billion pebbles converse quietly in the loving embrace of an afternoon sun, smooth curves caressed by a turquoise tide lapping gently at the shore edge. Seagulls circle high above a regatta of solo yachts whose sails billow with a gracious sea breeze, their waxed...
Buenos Aires
Buenos AiresA summer deluge engulfs Buenos Aires. Streets flow like rivers, storm drains erupt skyward, the smooth stone vertical facades of buildings rippling as if an ocean surface. We’re told the restaurant is a brisk thirty-minute walk from our apartment, yet the...
Documenting iNGO participant interviews in Ethiopia
A big part of my NGO involvement in Ethiopia revolves around the interviewing and documenting of programme participants who take part in short and long-term support programmes in order to test the efficacy of a wide range of aid solutions. These interviews often...
The Abattoir
I should probably put a warning here, some of the images will no doubt upset - it is an abattoir, afterall. The livestock market leaves nothing to the imagination, it's a time-tested script of source to sell perfectly executed on a clockwork schedule. Stepping through...
The Tashkurgan Horse Fair
The bustling cattle markets once sprawled across Xinjiang are slowly vanishing, the promise of a glistening international future fuelling the rapid consumption of valuable city-limit land. Hordes of bright-yellow gas-guzzling behemoths crawl over sun-bleached...
A Dawn Chorus
It's easy to forget that most digital and printed literature only ever really show us the best of the best, often hiding our learning and mistakes to the public. A Dawn Chorus was eventually captured from the living room balcony in our appartment in Addis. I posted it...
Wild Geladas, a modern monastery, and a long drive north
It’s far too early on a Saturday morning to be thinking of anything sensible, so early in fact that the sun isn't up yet. Dinner seems an eternity away. We leave in a hire car, our driver smoothly navigating the waking roads of Addis with ease. We pass through the...
Etcetera
Bits and bobs from times past, some paid, some free, some for fun and all a learning experience along the way.
Shooting Joumana
I first met Katerina in central Vienna. We shared stories over a coffee or two in a pokey coffee haus just off the Graben and soon started working together, shooting whatever and whenever our schedules would allow. Katerina Joumana has been a staple of the oriental...
The Wilds
Gun-metal mist lays heavily over the sleeping valley, elongated boughs of trees forming fantastical images just beyond the veil. Church spires pierce through with a resilience uncontested whilst a single red beacon flashes ominously on the hill overlooking the eerie...
Candid Ethiopia
Travelling silently through the southern Ethiopian lowlands our Landcruiser grinds to a momentous halt, tires raking through loose earth as the metal frame narrowly avoids the curb-side market stalls. Chickens squawk and flap as my Nikons crash into a dark footwell,...
Candid China
As midnight chimes on an icy rooftop overlooking Meijiang Nan, seemingly every firework in the entire world goes off in unison. Rockets rocket skyward, a trillion fire trails lifting from earth’s surface heading for the heavens. They erupt in a dark sky set on fire...
Candid Cambodia
A scent of oak filters through the morning streams of sunlight, wisps of white wood smoke twirling and dancing to the heart-beat of another day in Kep’s busy crab shacks. Not particularly interested in joining in the morning dance, I opt to sit as far away from the...

A Pastoralist’s Story
Insuring against hard times ahead with index-based livestock insurance. Dambi Dida’s four daughters walk 8km to school together every day. With rucksacks full of stationery and notebooks, and a breakfast of porridge and milk, they are ready for a day of learning. Life...
The Gelada Baboons of Debre Libanos
The Gelada baboon (Theropithecus gelada) exists exclusively across parts of the northern Ethiopian Highlands, living in unison with nature, tourism and, increasingly, urbanisation. Tracking the primates across the Ethiopian Great Rift Valley is not always an easy...
