In 2021, before and after the Euro 2020 final, England's football players faced significant racial abuse, particularly online. I went to Trafalgar Square to photograph the final screening to counter this negativity. I wanted to capture the cultural diversity among England supporters and showcase the unity and inclusiveness of the fans. There is a racist element among some supporters, but I also see the vast majority who embrace diversity, especially in urban centres like London, where I grew up. This photo collection aims to challenge racism and highlight the inclusive spirit of England's supporters, promoting mutual respect and solidarity. This project is deeply personal to me. I wanted to show that while there are issues, the majority of fans celebrate the rich cultural diversity that makes up England. Through these images, I aim to emphasise that football transcends racial and cultural boundaries and fosters a spirit of unity and mutual respect.

On August 10, 2024, Sheffield became a focal point for anti-racism advocacy as hundreds gathered in the city center for a Stand Up to Racism event. This demonstration was part of a national day of protest organized in response to planned anti-immigration rallies across the UK. The Sheffield event drew the largest crowd in Yorkshire, with over 800 participants uniting to promote inclusivity and counteract divisive narratives. The photographs from this day capture the vibrant energy and solidarity among attendees. They showcase a diverse assembly of individuals holding banners, engaging in speeches, and participating in peaceful marches through the city's streets. These images reflect the community's collective commitment to standing against racism and fostering unity. This event was significant in Sheffield's ongoing efforts to promote social harmony and resist discriminatory ideologies. The visual documentation is a powerful reminder of the city's dedication to equality and justice.

On November 11, 2024, I captured a significant pro-Palestinian march in London that brought together hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life. The diverse crowd—spanning different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds—gathered in a peaceful demonstration to advocate for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. Organized by groups like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Stop the War Coalition, the march began at Hyde Park and proceeded to the U.S. Embassy in Vauxhall. The atmosphere was one of unity and hope, with chants of “Free Palestine” and “Ceasefire now” echoing harmoniously through the streets.

The King Abdulaziz Camel Festival traces its origins to traditional Bedouin gatherings, where tribes would proudly present their most prized camels. These early displays of heritage and pride evolved into a formal event, first established in 2000 under King Abdulaziz Mazayen al-Ibil Award. In 2017, the festival underwent a major transformation to align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, expanding in scope and attracting global attention. Held annually near Riyadh, the festival now offers a dynamic mix of events: camel beauty contests (mazayen al-ibil), thrilling races, cultural exhibitions, and lively camel auctions. It celebrates the deep cultural and historical significance of camels in Saudi, Arab, and Islamic traditions. In 2018, the festival gained international headlines when several camels were disqualified for Botox enhancements, underscoring a commitment to fairness and authenticity. Today, the festival stands as a vibrant testament to Saudi heritage — a place where tradition, community, and modernity intersect, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the enduring legacy of the “Ship of the Desert.”

The camel auctions at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival are a lively and captivating spectacle. Traders, handlers, and spectators gather around pens filled with camels, each animal inspected with a discerning eye. Some camels are carefully lifted into their enclosures by cranes, a unique and practical solution to managing the bustling activity. The air is filled with the sounds of bartering and the occasional calls of camels, as buyers evaluate their potential. Captured for Aramco Life, these images reflect not just the energy of the auctions but also the deep cultural connection to these remarkable animals. They reveal moments of quiet observation and the dynamic rhythm of an age-old tradition thriving in a modern setting.

These photos are not from the recent London protests. They were taken during a demonstration organised by the Stop the War Coalition in August 2014 in response to Israeli actions at that time. The 2014 protest highlighted the urgent need for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. Demonstrators gathered to voice their concerns over the suffering and loss experienced by families in the conflict zone, calling for immediate action and justice. The situation has only worsened ten years later, with the conflict continuing unabated. The call for a ceasefire is even more critical today. This long-standing conflict demands our continued advocacy for peace and humanitarian efforts. Let's unite for a better world.

This photographic series captures the events of June 8, 2013, when Sheffield became the stage for a powerful response to intimidation. As the English Defence League (EDL) marched through the city, counter-protesters stood in defiance, championing unity and diversity. From Barker’s Pool to Broomhill, these images document the resilience of a community standing together against division and hate, showcasing the enduring strength of Sheffield’s values.
