Carol Allen-Storey

Carol Allen-Storey is an award winning photojournalist specialising in chronicling humanitarian and social issues.

“My images are intimate, about issues and citizens I deeply care about.
I believe photographs may not be capable of doing the moral work for us,
but they can trigger the process of social consciousness”
