I'm Thom Pierce, a photographer, writer and curator who is passionate about creating work that combats issues of inequality and injustice.
Through photographic campaigns, personal projects, artworks and collaborations I explore what it means to be human; and build powerful projects that inspire, educate and advocate for tangible change.
I currently work between the UK and South Africa.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
