About

He is currently involved in long term photojournalist, documentary photography projects, news features, portraits and social documentary imagery with a special interest in the current issues around health, culture, portraiture and African daily life. His clients include online media, wire services, international news media organisations, print media, international developmental partnerships, corporate and private clients.
