Adrian has covered many protests in the UK. His photos of protesters, who faced often violent private security forces in muddy fields, high in the trees and even underground trying to protect a much loved beauty spot near Bath from a proposed by-pass, was documented in a book called Solsbury Hill – https://www.solsburyhill.org.uk/

Adrian has contributed to all the UK newspapers and many international ones. He was a staff photographer for La Repubblica in London for over 6 years and has travelled extensively covering human rights stories; including Rwanda, the Horn of Africa, West Papua and India.

He also helped set up the Free West Papua movement in the UK.

He has worked with the BBC on two books and two 6 part tv series, Skeleton Coast in Namibia and the Edge of Blue Heaven in Mongolia.
