Assignments & Funding

Available for editorial assignment, humanitarian documentation, and archive licensing. All independent documentary work is self-funded.

For NGOs, publications, and organizations seeking to commission documentary coverage of humanitarian and environmental crises — or to support ongoing independent work — please reach out directly.

Every assignment is approached with the same care for the people being documented — informed consent, honest representation, and the understanding that the camera is in someone else's home.
