2020 was a problematic year, to say the least, with the pandemic and all the issues associated with the virus many would like to forget the year. Despite the difficulties of living in Greece during the first lockdown and then studying remotely on returning to the UK, I am thankful for the year and the fantastic images that came from it.

I have been interested in conflicts across the world for a good few years now; however, it was the many, many protests and clashes with police in Athens that gave me my first taste of recording and reporting myself.
I was lucky enough to have an Erasmus year in Athens. During this year, I saw molotovs being thrown, and I had my first spicy taste of tear gas. It was being at the protest armed with nothing but a camera which got me into photographing and reporting on the clashes I witnessed between the Athenian youth and the anti-riot police. It was my experience in Greece that projected me to the photojournalist I am today, and this is the start of my journey and this blog will tell where my journey will go. |
