Photography sam_bronx@bluewin.ch
My Haiti work was selected for the Summershow 2011 by Foto8 and rewarded t hird place at Pink Lady ® Food Photographer of the Year.
I am an independent photographer and researcher on humanitarian issues for over two decades. My story-telling strives to explore individual experience of living through crisis and show the resilience of communities faced with disasters. Having published extensively on emergencies and development, my documentary photography and participatory analysis go hand in hand, reinforcing each other to maximise policy and advocacy impact.
My work has been published by Médecins Sans Frontières | MSF, Action Against Hunger | ACF, United Nations Standing Committee on Nutrition, Tearfund, IDS, DFID and Oakland Institute. My Haiti picture was selected for the Summershow 2011 by Foto8
Closer to home my work explores our relation to food through portraying Top UK Chefs in their kitchens.
