FIELD NOTES
Reflections on photography, purpose and process

FIA - Global Voices
In late 2025 I was asked to curate an exhibition of activists that would accompany a large "alternative G20" event in Johannesburg. Here is a look inside the campaign.


Not Just A Photograph
Creating powerful campaigns requires a variety of expertise. I've developed a skillset to provide value when capacity is tight, without compromising on quality.

The Empathy Link
When trying to raise public attention of complex issues, a photograph can engage an audience through stories of our shared humanity.
