In my six years as photo editor of marie claire, I reintroduced the photojournalism story to the features section. In collaboration with the features editor, Andrea Thompson, we commissioned some excellent reportage stories of women around the world, enabling us to tell their stories through the eyes of some exceptionally talented local photographers. Below is a selection of some of the most impactful and interesting stories - one of which won an award, please go to the commercial section above to find out more…
