🌍 A new chapter. After two incredible years, travelling more than 250,000 miles and 200,000 photos captured across 50 countries - I'm delighted to announce my new role as Senior Photographer for the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office. (woo! 🥳) There's been boats across Amazon, quad bikes around Svalbard, trains into Ukraine, even a muddy walk with The King in Samoa. To name a few. Despite the long days and redeye flights, seeing my photos appear on the front pages and seen by millions makes it all worth it. I've met so many brilliant people and I've loved learning and sharing their stories. This is not a job I've been able to do solely by myself and I've learned to lean on more people than I would expect. From every solid piece of advice to every bottle of water after a long day, I'm blessed to have such a supportive network of people around me. To my my team, fellow creatives, family and friends who have inspired me to be the best I can be, thank you. Right, onto the next one. 📸 Photo by Benjamin Hall. South Korea, October 2024.
