Abbi’s passion for photography began in 2007 with a Sony digital compact. Whilst travelling around South East Asia and India she was captured by their visual beauty. Following a promise to invest in an SLR on her return, she taught herself how to use a camera properly. Since then she has saved every penny to visit as many new countries as possible, seeing each one through the lense of her camera.
She’s just returned from a 6 month stint traveling around South America. First stop Brazil, where she worked for an NGO in Rio’s largest favela, Rocinha. Following this she flew into the Colombian Amazon to photograph monkeys and indigenous tribes for the recent Whitley Award winner - Entropika. With the trip extending through to the rest of Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. Next international adventures will be in France, Spain, Namibia and Cuba…
She is an on-going writer and photographer for Black Tomato (named by Condé Nast Traveller as “The ones to watch…”) and since her return has been featured in The Sunday Times and Urban Outfitters.
