As a humanitarian photographer, my craft is devoted to honoring the innate dignity inherent in every individual. My work spans more than 150 countries and serves as a catalyst for social change via exposure and financial support. Along with my photography, I champion the causes I document and have been invited to deliver keynote speeches at the UN, Parliament, The Vatican, Davos & TED stages.
