Rachael Munro-Fawcett is a UK-based documentary photographer who is committed to creating work that raises awareness around social and environmental issues. Using photography as a medium for storytelling, she communicates narratives that aim to facilitate meaningful conversations and support positive change in society. With a deep curiosity about connection, her work examines the relationships between humans and nature and explores the ties we share with each other. By capturing universal stories that unite us, she immerses herself in diverse cultures, communities, and landscapes that exist beyond her own socio-economic and geographical boundaries, inviting viewers to reflect on their interconnectedness with the world and one another.
