| Introduction | I have worked internationally as a photojournalist, documentary maker and reporter for 12 years. I use an immersive style of reporting which is quite different to most. I often spend weeks, months or longer living with local people, experiencing to the extent possible what life is like for them. I mostly work alone on a project from start to finish — shooting, writing, reporting, producing and editing. I find the stories I believe need to be told and spend the time I need to understand them. My work has received 17 international awards including a George Polk Award and a Peabody. |
| Interests | Some of my most notable work includes exclusive reporting on Gaddafi’s capture and death in Libya, 2011 which led to the opening of a UN enquiry, and coverage from Aleppo, Syria in 2012/13 that frequently trended on social media raising global awareness. |
