Adam Ferguson (www.adamfergusonphoto.com), born in 1978 in Dubbo (Australia). After working as a sailor in the Caribbean, Central America and the Mediterranean to fund the launch of his photographic career, he moved to Paris to intern with VII Photo Agency in 2006. Based in New Delhi from 2007 to 2011, Adam documented social tensions within the world’s largest democracy and Pakistan as it grappled with poverty and political insecurity.

A full member of VII Photo since 2011, Adam has been honored with some of the most coveted awards in photojournalism.
