After studying photography at the London College of Printing in 1984, I concentrated on human rights and social documentary photography. Alongside environmental author George Monbiot, I travelled to Irian Jaya to document the destruction of the Papuan culture and land rights and contributed to the book Poisoned Arrows.

San of Northern Namibia. The San bushmen of Namibia are largely landless - the Bushmen development foundation was set up to rectify this and provides a place for the San to make their home. Traditionally hunter gatherers their way of life has almost entirely dissappeared. Instead many of the San are destined to a life of slavery on Herero and Coloured farms.
I went to Rwanda in 1993 just before the killing started. There were displacement camps everywhere, the tension was papable. It is said that Rwanda never suffered the ravages of the slave trade and consequently had a well established but dense popualtion on its highly fertile soil but more significantly it had a society that had a highly defined awareness of ethnicity.
