Tommy TrenchardTommy Trenchard is an independent photographer documenting human stories from around the world for a broad range of international magazines, newspapers and humanitarian organisations. The focus of his work ranges widely from conflict, humanitarian crises and social injustice to traditional cultures and artisanal livelihoods across the globe.
He began his freelance career over a decade ago after moving to Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he stayed for the next four years documenting that country’s long road to recovery after a decade of conflict during the 1990s. Whilst in West Africa he also covered the devastating 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak, and the desperate international fight to control it.
