As someone who came to this country from India, I try to reveal parts of America that may seem ordinary to many at first but that, once exposed, touch the soul. I strive to bring intimacy and beauty to every story that I cover – whether in still or video photography, print or online. This point of view has served me well as I have built a strong track record for both enterprise work and breaking news stories in the communities where I have worked. Before coming to Arizona, I worked in Georgia for nine years. While there, I documented the lives of migrant farmworkers and followed the state National Guard, who was at the time preparing for war in Iraq. I traveled to Iraq twice and also responded to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, where I was part of a Pulitzer Prize winning team covering the gruesome aftermath of the storm. Now here at the Arizona Republic, I am currently working on a number of projects in addition to my daily assignments. I am working to tell the stories of undocumented Mexican families juxtaposed with the frequent use of excessive force by the Border Patrol and the complexity of the movement to reform immigration laws and policies. Our in-depth project has put a lot of pressure on the Department of Homeland Security and I believe it is part of the reason that they have written a new book of policies on how to respond to migrants encountered in the desert. I have also been asked to cover a number of ongoing social issues including Arizona’s embattled Child Protective Services department, laws that target the LGBTQ community and heroin use in our region. These special projects often require me to dedicate personal time in order to do them justice, but the work is worthwhile as it feeds my passion for the craft of photojournalism and telling compelling stories.ACHIEVEMENTS AND AWARDS Rocky Mountain Emmy Award 2011-2012 - “Saving Arizona's Children" Pulitzer Prize for Public Service Part of the 2006 (Biloxi, Miss.)

After graduating from Kansas State University in December 2013 with a B.A. in Journalism and Digital Media, I immediately moved to Birmingham, AL, to pursue work as a freelance cinematographer and editor. In January 2014, I began freelancing with Alabama Public Television to help provide engaging, educational content to the citizens of Alabama. I now work full-time with APT as a Documentary Production Specialist, but I continue to freelance as a film director, photographer, and documentarian. My interest lies in bridging cultural gaps in a historically segregated region by documenting the experiences of those living in low-income areas through photography and film/video. I take a personal interest in the historical, political, and economic circumstances that have contributed to and continue to fuel segregative action in the South. Through documenting both the catalysts and results of educational, economic, and social inequalities, I hope to contribute to a global understanding of them.

I am drawn to telling stories that allow me to pass through a window and enter into subjects’ lives and document their existence and experiences.

My name is Michael, and I am a mid 30s photographer and World Wanderer. My photography journey started as a hobby, primarily learning my way around a DSLR by shooting landscapes around my home in San Francisco, California. Soon, I started accepting paid assignments, from commercial ad campaigns to weddings, but my passion for traveling with camera in hand was too great to ignore. I started visiting locations all over the globe, documenting not only the beautiful landscapes of the countries I visited, but also the lives of the local communities. I quickly fell in love with the travel and photojournalism genres of photography and was desperate to recreate that incredible rush. I have been lucky to lead workshops and document the lives of the people in Nicaragua, Peru, Jordan, Cambodia and India. I have also documented the work of elephant sanctuaries in Thailand, who aim to end the ugly and cruel business of elephant tourism.

Andrew Stanbridge has been traveling and photographing throughout Southeast Asia for the past 15 years. His first work documented the continuing modernization of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, which continues to be a theme that he returns to frequently. While traveling through these countries (particularly Cambodia and Laos) his interest was piqued by the histories of conflict that his own home country of America had been involved in and the recovery from the aftermath of these conflicts. For the past 5 years he has concentrated on this theme by addressing the physical, emotional and cultural scars left from the various wars fought in these countries. During this time he has spent time clearing and photographing unexploded ordnance, gone on patrol with ragtag armies and spent countless hours hearing the stories of those whose lives have been affected by the vestiges of war. These people include sex workers, rice farmers, politicians and others whose stories beg to be told, but who have b

Growing up as the daughter of a Catholic-Mexican mother and a Muslim-Palestinian father, I spent most of my childhood asking questions. My early travels between the Middle East and the United States, as well as the switch between three different languages at home, led to the passion I have for exploring the unknown and the constant curiosity of the world around me. For these reasons, international stories have become the main focus and goal in my career. The stories I like to hunt for are personal accounts of an issue, such as profiles, that show the bigger picture of social or global problems and changes. I also love hunting new cultural developments, like how an increased population of immigrants in certain areas has effected the culture of a society. Or the everyday life of a family that was displaced outside its home country because of a war or revolution. As a traveler myself, I am always in search of travel-stories.
