Malawi

Last month I was working in Malawi to create a series of films for the Medical Research Council ahead of the 2016 International AIDS Conference in Durban. Keen to witness a true reflection of African culture and life, I took to the streets on my day off to capture a few shots that I hope give you an insight into the desperate conditions faced by millions of people in this effortlessly beautiful but distressingly impoverished country.
