At university, I wrote my dissertation on political action, and spent a month researching the work of Free Tibet Campaign in London.

After my studies, alongside my first editorial positions on magazines, I spent more time volunteering, taking photos and writing articles with the team.

These pictures, shot on film, were taken during marches in 2004 and 2005. Each year, the protests marked the anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule.
