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...
It's easy to forget that most of the internet 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...

Facades and frontage with an emphasis on lines and a/symmetry. The foundations of my photographic artworks are firmly embedded in a world of colour, line, and shape. I take inspiration from film, off-beat scores, graphic novels, ancient history, streams of...
The Gelada baboon 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 task, but with a local...
Hardcopy publication of interviews and photographs collected from Ethiopia's Borana zone.
A big part of my NGO involvment in Ethiopia revolves around the interviewing and documenting of programme participants, civilians like you and me who take part in short and long-term support programmes in order to test the efficacy of a wide range of aid solutions....
