About

Was once a music clip director then the tsunami happened in Banda Aceh, so I sold everything and went on an adventure to document and to assist in the relief and have been doing it for almost 10 years now. I travel and document humanitarian issue and conflict. I was based in Kabul, Afghanistan for 6 years and now live in Istanbul. I mainly cover the Syrian war and also the battles against ISIS. I have also covered Somalia, DRC, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, Syria and Mexico.
