Commissions

Commissioned travel writing and documentary photography projects

Overview

I am available for commissioned travel writing, long‑form features and documentary photography projects. Commissions are developed through sustained fieldwork, research and on‑the‑ground reporting.

My work often focuses on remote, overlooked or politically complex regions, with an emphasis on geography, history and everyday life. Projects are typically research‑led and developed over extended periods.

Types of commissions

  • Long‑form travel features for magazines and editorial platforms
  • Reported essays combining narrative writing and field research
  • Documentary photography projects, standalone or accompanying written work
  • Research‑led projects for cultural or academic contexts

Rights and usage

Photography usage and rights are outlined on the licencing page. Writing commissions are agreed on a project‑by‑project basis.
