Voices of the Jungle

• Photojournalist and author of Voices of the Jungle

  • Jan 2016 - Present

  I spent one year living and working in The Jungle refugee camp in Calais. Following my time there I wrote Voices of the Jungle as a response to the blanket coverage shown across the mainstream media. It is a compilation of stories that narrates life in The Jungle of Calais; one of the only places in the world that was completely governed by anarchy and invisible rules dictated by human common sense. Through images and text it tells the real life stories of the refugees, their hopes, their fears, their madness and above all their stories of continued dignity during great adversity. Show less
