Frontline Freelance Register
Bangkok, Thailand
I see photography as a tool for story telling that can be used to engage wide audiences and spark conversation on topics and issues that are often not afforded attention. I admire the medium’s ability to raise awareness of injustice, abuse, and marginalisation while being mindful of the boundaries that separate image making as a means of exploration, and exploitation.
My work has appeared in print and/or online in Maclean's Magazine, The Financial Times, BBC Thai, news.com.au, ABC Online, The Brisbane Times, The Diplomat, Foreign Affairs, The Bangkok Post and The Sydney Morning Herald.
I have undertaken projects internationally, most recently in the Thai-Burmese border region often working with NGO’s (Non-Government Organisations and CBO’s (Community based organisations). My work has also included collaborations with photographers from both domestic and international institutions including a photographic project with students from Pathshala South Asian Media Academy in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
