I am a documentary photographer, filmmaker, and educator. My work combines documentary storytelling and research within journalism, art, and academic contexts. Whether self-initiated or commissioned, my projects mainly explore contemporary social and environmental issues. Often collaborative, my practice- based research is informed by oral history, archives, and the vernacular. My work has been published in newspapers, magazines, and books, and exhibited in festivals, galleries, and museums globally. I lecture and lead lens-based media workshops at universities internationally. Formerly based in Japan, I now work and live between Berlin and Milan. I am a member of Prospekt Photographers.
