I explore our relationship with the natural world through photography and film, documenting landscapes, people, and traditions across the globe. My current project is inspired by the growing number of “Rights of Nature” environmental cases worldwide — the idea that nature has the right to exist, thrive, and remain unharmed by human activity.
This complex relationship is especially visible in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, where two billion people depend on water that flows from these mountains. In a time of dramatic climate change, my project seeks to portray the natural world as a central character — one with feelings, memory, and even a soul. The concept of nature’s “personhood” has been integral to many cultures throughout history, and I hope this exploration resonates today.
My work has been exhibited in the RPS International Print Exhibition and the BJP Portrait of Britain, and my TV experience as a Producer & Director includes the triple-Emmy-winning BBC series Wild China, as well as Japan: Earth’s Enchanted Islands, Nile, and A Real Bug’s Life. I have lectured on filmmaking, photography, and environmental storytelling at the Royal Geographical Society, SOAS, and the RGS in Hong Kong.
