These images were taken in Caracas during the recent wave of protests which began in April after President Maduro moved ahead with constitutional reforms many believe will give him absolute power. Since then 78 people have been killed, and over 3000 protesters detained. The government are trying to subdue protesters by force which only triggers more anger and perpetuates the violence.
These images attempt to reveal the compounding effects of this violence on both opposition activists and ordinary people simply caught in the crossfire.
I've been published in The Guardian and New Yorker Magazine, and exhibited at the Royal United Services Institute in association with NATO. I also had work featured in two group shows at Head On Photo Festival in Sydney, Australia in 2015.
