Print Shop Launch

Print Shop Launch

Today I’m really excited to announce that I’m launching an online print shop! Over the years I’ve gotten many requests to purchase prints, and with next year marking a decade since I began documenting Albania, I thought it was a good time to launch a selection of prints from my time working there. When I first traveled to Albania, a lot of people thought I was crazy, they said things like “Oh you’re going to get kidnapped!” or “it’s run by the mafia, they’ll kill you!” But it was the words of one friend that particularly sat with...

Shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society IPE 164

Shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society IPE 164

I’m honoured that one of my portraits has been shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society's 164th International Photography Exhibition. I took this portrait of Gazmend Bikaj, a nomadic shepherd in Albania’s Kelmend region, while working on a project about the Malësorë highlanders in 2019. Inhabiting some of the most remote areas of Albania’s northern mountains, the Malësorë have survived and maintained many aspects of their culture through centuries of upheaval. Today they are some of the last people carrying on traditional pastoralism in...

British Journal Of Photography: Decade of Change Award

British Journal Of Photography: Decade of Change Award

I'm honoured that two of my photos have been selected as winners of the British Journal of Photography's Decade of Change award, which highlights a diverse range of work focused on the climate crisis. Personally, these happen to be two of my favourite images that I've taken, selected from two different longterm bodies of work that focus on the plight of the Vjosa river, one of Europe's last free flowing rivers, as well as the nomadic shepherds of Albania's northern Kelmend valley, who are facing direct existential threats from both a rapidly changing climate, and...

Interview for Track Two Podcast

Interview for Track Two Podcast

I had a great chat with the hosts of the Track Two podcast, whose second season is exploring how journalists contribute to a thriving, healthy civil society. We discussed my work covering stories about cultural heritage in the Western Balkans, working in underreported areas, and how the past and present influence the relationship between people and the places they call home. So grateful to have the chance to discuss my work in depth, and the impact I am trying to have as a visual storyteller.  Have a listen here:...

Dubrovnik for BA High Life Magazine - Part 1

Dubrovnik for BA High Life Magazine - Part 1

Was pleased to have the chance to shoot these photos of Dubrovnik in the off season for British Airways High Life magazine. I've had commissions in Dubrovnik before, but always in the busy summer season, so it was a real treat to be able to experience the city during a calmer time. Dubrovnik can often feel like Disneyland, with crowds of people, cruise ships, and most things tailored towards tourism. Wandering the quiet, cool streets in winter, I experienced a completely different atmosphere, with locals indeed "taking back" their old town, carrying on life as they have for...
