I tell stories for a living. Stories that are poignant and powerful. Stories that add fresh perspectives to continuing global discussions around social justice, humanitarian action, human development, conservation, sustainability, climate resilience and disaster mitigation.
Over a career spanning two decades, my documentary films, video stories and multimedia features have been published by companies and organisations such as The Weather Channel, IBM, UNICEF, IMF, Vice Media, NBC Left Field, CNN Great Big Story, Tata Global Beverages, and ministries of the Government of India, among many others. I was a 2021 recipient of the National Geographic Society Covid-19 Emergency Reporting Fund; a 2019 co-awardee of the Editor & Publisher EPPY Awards as a contributing producer of The Weather Channel’s climate project Exodus; a 2015 recipient of the Films Division of India Documentary Fund; and a 2014 finalist at the Sundance Institute / Gates Foundation Short Film Challenge.
I specialise in multimedia reporting from remote field locations in far-flung corners around the world, often working as a one-person unit. I am a long-time user of SONY professional equipment, owning and operating the latest Netflix-approved SONY 4K cameras for video work, and SONY full-frame mirrorless cameras for photography. I am also proficient in underwater and aerial photography, and operate my own professional gear for both.
Having lived in five countries over the years, I am currently based in Fiji Islands, and continue to travel around the world on assignment. When not engaged in work, I spend my time diving the spectacular tropical coral reefs of Fiji — I hold a professional PADI Scuba Divemaster licence — and carrying out serendipitous kitchen experiments with recipes and cuisines from around the world.
