A series of environmental portraits taken in Ghana and Togo whilst living in West Africa and working alongside a human rights and advocacy organisation.

Through the medium of photography, I supported organisations who were engaged in awareness-raising and fact finding work, to document communities being affected by a range of social and environmental challenges. The images were presented alongside written testimonies in reports aimed at increasing public awareness and strengthening accountability amongst decision-makers. Photography also served as tool for the communities to share their own experiences and support their advocacy and change-making efforts at a local level.
