This portrait of photographer John Janson-Moore (centre, with camera) was made amidst the 300,000-strong March for Humanity across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in August 2025. It wasn’t until I reviewed my images in post-production that I found him there - in the thick of it as he so often is. His constant presence at marches and rallies embodies the principles of Photographers Without Borders. Storytelling in solidarity, not supremacy, it is a portrait made in the spirit of bearing witness together.
