About James

I grew up and studied in London, completed an MA at the University of Edinburgh then enrolled in a year of fine art at City & Guilds. In 2015, aged 24, I was offered a position in Madagascar with the opportunity to work in some of the most inaccessible parts of the island; photographing, filming and reporting for a humanitarian NGO. Over 2 years, my work with this NGO trained me to read the human stories through the veils of culture, history and language. The richness I witnessed in these perspectives compelled me to communicate the truths of marginalised people. With this vocation, I returned to Madagascar independently to explore the unheard stories of this vast and intricate nation. Currently based in Nairobi, I am operating across East Africa but forever plotting my next return to Mada.
