A portrait of Ardo Yusuf Roble.

Earlier this year I travelled to Somaliland with Alice. I'm excited to share a series we worked on together. 'Somaliland's Nomads’ is portrait series from Boodley, a remote village surviving the drought and hunger crisis in Somaliland.
Somaliland could be considered the canary in the mine in a world that is getting hotter and where extreme weather conditions are becoming more common. Somaliland’s nomads are living on the front-lines of climate change, with the increasing frequency and ferocity of drought. It is an immediate life-or-death challenge that pushes their already precarious existence to the edge.
For years now Somaliland has experienced extreme drought. However recently the drought has become increasingly severe, with thousands on the brink of starvation. This year the government of Somaliland declared a national emergency with more than 1.5 million people affected by the drought afflicting the state and 80% of it’s livestock wiped out. 18 million were affected across East Africa.

Taken in a portable studio, in this portrait series we have removed the subjects from their direct environment in order to challenge the cliched depictions from a region where news reports often focus on poverty and suffering. Photographing this way we intended to create a greater sense of connection with the subject and empathy on behalf of the viewer.
Despite having had the least impact on the environment it is these nomads who suffer the most. By putting a human face on those on the front-lines of climate change and celebrating the individuals from this village and region in this way, we hope to draw attention to the increasing threat of climate change to the region. #facesofchange
