Tom is a lecturer in photography at the University of Lincoln. He is a photographer and participatory project practitioner, specialising in creating meaningful images about humanitarian issues through photography and video. Although Tom works with large organisations and donors such as UNICEF, ECHO and the WFP, Tom’s interest is primarily in the people and communities he collaborates with. Tom has conducted extensive work in post-conflict settings (including Rwanda, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, Bangladesh and Burundi). Tom has worked with marginalised groups and amassed specialist expertise in developing creative processes that address the roots of societal conflict. Tom’s publications range from The Economist and The Independent to Italian Vogue and the Lancet. Exhibitions include solo shows in Westminster and Rwanda, and the Taylor Wessing Photo prize at the National Portrait Gallery 2011.
