Two aspects of my visits to other countries always fascinate me: people and landscapes. The two images below are of the Hamer Tribe in Ethiopia and are selected from my Travel Fellowship portfolio, recorded over a 14-year period.

The image above depicts a woman outside her home in Zanzibar; rendition in low key monochrome helps focus attention on her soulful eyes. The image below is from a project I recorded pro bono for a charity which helps women in Tigray, Ethiopia to be rehabilitated after medical treatment for obstetric fistula.

This was taken in the holy city of Qom, Iran and it always makes me smile. This moment of laughter provides a welcome counterpoint to the sombre dress code imposed on women in this country.

Two young women harvesting seaweed off the coast of Zanzibar was selected as a finalist in the Food Photographer of the year competition in 2018.
