I am honoured to have one of my images from my work with the intrepid Oyster Women of The Gambia selected for the @rgs_ibg ‘Earth Photo 2025’ prize and exhibition.

Earth Photo is a world-leading international programme, established in 2018. The programme engages with still and moving image makers, across all genres. Earth Photo addresses prescient issues affecting our planet, aiming to stimulate conversations about our environment and the impact of climate change.

In partnership with Forestry England, @parkerharrisco and the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers), Earth Photo organises exhibitions, awards and events that celebrate photography and moving images. Earth Photo tells compelling stories about our planet,
its inhabitants, its beauty, fragility, and resilience.
