Adam Dickens on the power of photography to change lives

Impact Stories with Nick Kershaw

Today’s chat is with a brilliant photographer called Adam Dickens who runs Taking Pictures, Changing Lives - a foundation created to bring local content creators to the forefront of charity storytelling. This is a huge theme we are seeing in the charity sector and Adam has been ahead of his time for years now, training up, kitting up and employing his team of photographers across the world.

Put simply, Adam comes alive when he’s in front of his photos - he will be the first to admit that speeches are not his preferred method of communications - he lets his photos do the talking. So, with that in mind, if bring up his website changinglives.photo that is www.changinglives.photo and look at his photos as you listen!

Did you know, listening to a podcast contributes to your carbon footprint? The servers that power the cloud storage all use energy, emit heat (so, yes, that email you sent that simply reads "thanks" also adds up!). There's a simple way to calculate your footprint and offset it a COP21 approved way, so you can easily play your part today.
