Just blown away by the incredible efforts of , who after 518 days and 14,560 kilometres has run from Cape Town to London to tell the story of human migration and combat racism.

Deo is a history maker. Go follow, support and be inspired to join him in his mission to end racism.

I had the absolute honour of photographing and directing a film with Deo in 2021 when he was speaking up about modern slavery and running to raise awareness. One of the magical ones ✨

I was over the moon when I saw the spreads and picture selections from Damian’s feature on South Sudanese returnees the other weekend. Anna Bassett, my picture editor, messaged me beforehand to say that it looked great and I was chuffed to bits when I saw it.

While I was spoilt in this edition, there’s only enough space in the paper for a few images… so here are a few more formal portraits from that assignment that I love.

HOMECOMING.

It was my absolute privilege and pleasure to meet and photograph members of the community in South Sudan for a story published in Saturday magazine this weekend (7/12/24). All published pictures from the article are in this carousel.

‘For years, the mangos on the tree ripened in the rains, fell and rotted on the ground because Gwolo was not here to harvest them.’

This story, written by Times journalist Damian Arnold, chronicles the return of tens of thousands of refugees from camps in Uganda to the fertile soils of Kajo Keji in the extreme south west of the country. It tells the story of innovators like Julius Gwolo, walking through the night to find radio reception so that he could listen to Joseph Longa, transmitting messages of hope (Hope FM!) and practical skills over the county’s airwaves.

‘Given five years of peace, people will thrive in this place’.

The community strength and spirit of the people we met on this trip was just so tangible. Despite years (and decades before that) of conflict and insecurity, we met so many people who had courageously left the relative safety of a camp to sew the land again, start businesses from scratch and even learn to read in their 70s. All in the knowledge that conflict could displace all this time and energy and hope once again. Incredible and yet also, so vital. If peace is not planted, peace cannot grow.

Thanks to the many people involved in helping us put the pieces of this together. Find out more about the community development work we witnessed via the website and socials and read the story at .

And in one night, the season changed.

It felt less transcendent this time. More earthy, more… wet. The new season declaring itself with exuberant humidity.

There under the brollies and the gore tex, barefoot and wellied we were slowly turned to mulch. Autumned together as the light level gently rose with no sign of its source.

Gavin asked us to think about the future. Did we have hope? Did we have agency? Peace to the east, peace to the south, peace to the west and peace to the north.

"So of the 6,000, who won the top prize? Tom Price, a London-based photographer for his photo "Porter" — a picture Hermand-Grisel calls "stunning" and "technically perfect in its composition and color palette." But at first she found it bewildering."

Porter project featured on NPR!

The winning images in the All About Photos contest answer the question: What's in "Your Mind's Eye"? And also: What can you carry on your head?

I was recently asked to create a little launch video for Toilet Twinning's new appeal: Fridge Twinning.

It's a great idea - you 'twin' your fridge and help provide emergency food and livelihood support to families across the world who are suffering most from the economic impact of Covid-19. What's not to love?

And as you get a little magnet set once you've twinned your fridge, I thought I'd add a little magic to bring it to life... 🧙

Huge thanks to Hannah Henderson for being a killer stop motion artist, model and provider of a fridge!

Also big props to Dragonframe and Farmdrop for being super friendly and an environmentally rad grocery delivery service. 🙌
