About

I am a documentary photojournalist based in Nairobi, Kenya, where I grew up most of my life.

Still today I consider the country my home, a place to return to for a feeling of familiarity, warmth…

I wish to specialise my work in East Africa; knowing the language and the region well, I believe that it is here that I could become most of an expert in my field and to contribute in raising awareness and change.

Graduated with a BA in journalism in 2004 and a Master in Photojournalism and documentary photography from the London College of Communication in 2009.

I Worked for the United Nations (IRIN) as photographer and photo editor in Nairobi. I’ve taken pictures for Agence France Presse, Reuters, Getty Images, BBC, IRIN and other UN agencies. Also worked as photo editor for AFP in Paris.

I Exhibited in Nairobi, New Delhi and London.
