I was based in Palestine for many years during which my practice incorporated long-term personal projects, photojournalism and participatory photography with young refugees. I have exhibited work widely around the world and my work has been recognised in awards including the Sony World Photography Awards, Humanity Photography Awards and Travel Photographer of the Year.
After returning to the UK I won the St Highs Foundation Arts Award (2017) and also received Arts Council England Grants to the Arts awards to restructure my practice around long-form collaborative documentary projects and develop my current collaborative project with a Syrian family rebuilding their lives in the north on England. In early 2020, supported by ACE, I was commissioned by Impressions Gallery to expand this project towards a new touring exhibition - 'In Which Language Do We Dream?' - which launched in August 2021 at Impressions Gallery, Bradford, UK. IWLDWD? has been recognised in the 2021 Global Peace Award and also was among winners of the BJP's Portrait of Britain award.
