About Me

My Story (so far) 

Having lived abroad and travelled extensively around the world, increasingly, I find that what resonates for me are things that unite, rather than divide us. We all essentially speak the same language, our aspirations, dreams and desires are universal: freedom and peace; shelter; food on the table; and a brighter, more secure future for our children. And, of course, everyone wants a good photo of themselves.

What can I do for you? 

Are you looking for informed, compelling, creative and considered images to raise awareness, tell a story or showcase your non-profit, foundation or organisation’s projects, programmes or activities? Do you need to demonstrate impact?  

Perhaps you’re a Brand looking for images that speak to your values, purpose and mission? 

I am a Kenyan documentary and travel photographer, based in Nairobi. My images are essentially about celebrating the beauty, grace, resilience and spirit of people through powerful and emotive storytelling. Drawing on influences, including my background in law and development, brings an insightful perspective to my work. I have a keen interest in sustainable development and socio-cultural issues. My mission is to create images with impact and purpose, which educate, intrigue and inspire. Areas of expertise include: international environmental law and policy; poverty and the environment; sustainable cities; education; governance; health; agriculture and food security.

My considerable experience involves working with diverse clients including: The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), the Fund for Global Human Rights, International Institute for Sustainable Development Reporting Services (IISD/RS), Anthony Nolan Trust (UK), Safaricom, and Africa Insight Communications. My images have been published and exhibited and I am a a member of the African Photojournalism Database, a collaboration of World Press Photo and Everyday Africa.

I also produce vidoes at UN conferences, in addtion to being a published sustainable development writer. 

Please do get in touch for any enquires, questions and collaborations. 

I look forward to hearing from you.
