entry description
I was commissioned by the United Nations Zimbabwe as well as HMWiT Joe Public to show people from a rural fishing village in Southern Coastal Kenya campaigning against AIDS. I had about two hours, all natural daylight, some poster board and some incredible subject matter. AIDS has a huge stigma all across Africa, and we have to educate about this disease in rural communities to stop this pandemic.about the photographer
I am a humanitarian photographer who simply wants to change the perspective of the world by showing them something different. From drag queens, to people living in third world countries with Dementia, I am building my career so that I can positively impact others lives. I do that by either sharing their story, or educating someone on something that they don't understand. I photograph what I am passionate about and am working to start my life long goal of being a professional.back to gallery
