My Story
The journey continues
I spent 10 years in Sydney Australia working as a filmmaker and directing actors. I had my own small production business and made short films for festivals on the side. My photography career began after I left Australia and began travelling around Southeast Asia. I became interested in telling stories about minorities or people out on the edges of society: the Muslim Uyghurs in China, the slums of Mumbai, the remaining Buddhist monks of Mongolia, child wrestlers in Pakistan.
After a year long collaboration in Pakistan, documenting the lives, stories and cultural diversity of women there, life took many diiferent paths after a young Malala Yousafzai, a subject I had photographed, had been shot by the Taliban. My work went on to be featured internationally in the likes of The Guardian, CNN and New Statesman.
