My name is Achola Rosario and I have been an artist all my life and a producer for 20 years. I have worked in every field in the media industry in Uganda and now Kenya, and grew to a modest position before losing it all after the 2016 Ugandan elections. I have since started my own production house where I produce a travel show about Africa. I also speak fluent French. I have just updated my Hostile Environment Training by ILETA (International Law Enforcement Training Association) in November 2021 and have a diploma in therapeutic counselling from Kenya Association of Practicing Counsellors (KAPC). I feel that this gives me an edge when leading teams and interviews in hostile environments and with difficult subjects. I have a fully accredited Kenyan foreign press card and a Kenyan National ID. I also have a great sense of humour and teamwork- most of the people I have worked with during my 20-year career are still good friends of mine. I am also known to not publish information that is incorrect or misleading. I have taken to court clients in Europe who have used my name for documentaries that have been deliberately distorted for sensationalist purposes. I am passionate about the stories I cover and each one brings a different experience for me that enriches my life tapestry and contact lists. I have made a wide circle of friends and acquaintances across the globe and feel that as an artist and trained public relations and communications expert, I am in a position to package the news and information I gather in a unique, in-depth and digestible manner that lends dignity to the subjects covered. I have specialised in research, filming, editing, publishing and promoting each episode myself. I am currently on episode 85.

I was born in Cordoba, Argentina in 1975 in a family of Lebanese migrants. Before being interested in photography I majored in Economical Sciences, worked as an independent consultant for a couple of years, got deeply bored, and started to travel. I started learning photography on my own and worked as a freelance photographer in Palestine in 2005. In 2006 I developed the participatory photography project “Identity Document”, with children of migrant workers in Israel. During that time I’ve co-founded Activestills (a collective of activist photographers in Israel and Palestine) and created Activevision, an organization dedicated to participatory photography and video, also based in the Middle East. For my work in Palestine I got a scholarship from the Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona to study for a master degree in photojournalism, which I completed in 2007. In Barcelona I co-founded the collective Ruido Photo and created and directed the school of photography Ruido Formación, and also launched the online magazine 7dot7. In 2009, with my colleagues of Ruido and ElFaro.net, I worked in Mexico documenting the migration route of Central Americans on their way to the United States. This project became a photo book published by Blume, it’s called “En el camino”, and it was prized as the Best Photobook of the year 2011 by the PoYi Latam prize. In some moment I read that shooting was the most popular sport in Switzerland, so in 2010 was able to start the project “Neutral Fire” about that, the heirs of Willhiam Tell. Geo France commissioned it and I also got a grant by the Arts Council of Catalonia. In 2011 I developed the project “Masafer”, documenting the life of the cave-dwelling communities of South Hill Hebron, Palestine. The project was not much published, but the experience of living with the communities for more than a year was one of the best of my life. In 2013 started to work for the first time in Himalayan glaciers: through an USAID Scientific Climbing Grant was able to documentthe efforts of ETH Zurich glaciologist and the local population in order to record the changes in the glaciers in the Langtang area. The project become “All the Ices the Ice”. In 2014 I fell in love with Gaza and its people, then the bombings started. I decided to stay, but had no clue of what I was doing there. The photos became 2 projects: one is called “What Remains” and is a more serious documentation of life in Gaza in that time, and the other one is “Gaza Mode d’Emploi”, perhaps not so serious but yes more honest and in tone with the local sense of humor. “Mode d’Emploi” was published by Le Courrier International and Granta Magazine, and I’m working in making it a book. Besides in Spanish I can talk quite an interesting amount of non-sense in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan and French. I’m currently based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where I work as a freelance photographer and an AFP contributor.
