Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala
I'm a video journalist / filmmaker currently based in Guatemala. Stories about politics, environmental issues, social and human rights drive my work. I arrived in Guatemala by way of Canada, Mexico, South Korea, the UK and Qatar. I've reported/filmed from across the Americas, from Canada straight down to Panama, and have worked on documentaries in the UK, the US, Mexico, Ecuador, the DR, Haiti and Honduras. I worked staff for the BBC and Al Jazeera before starting freelancing in 2010. Since then I've worked for Al Jazeera English, Al Jazeera America, Vice, Fusion, the BBC, CCTV, TRT (Turkish broadcaster) and various NGOs and independent production companies. I report, produce, shoot, edit and write. I film with a Sony FS5, and a Canon C100.
