Very pleased to share this recent publication with you all from an assignment I did late last year in Mongolia for Smithsonian Magazine. The story focuses on the revival of the Przewalski Horse, Mongolia’s wild equine which is experiencing a resurgence after being successfully reintroduced in the wild.

In 2011 I did a story titled ‘The Panda’s Forest: Biodiversity Loss‘ which focused on the efforts of the Chengdu Panda Breeding Center in Sichuan Province, in south-west China, central […]

From the official Earth Hour Blog this week… 25 April 2016: Often viewed as barren, we like to think the resilience of the desert is something to learn from.

A few months into using the app, the British Journal of Photography approached me […]
