Gabriel has – rather unsuccessfully – tried to fake his way into adulthood by becoming a trained German judge and gaining a Master’s degree in diplomacy from the UK. To add to the delusion, he worked with the United Nations in the areas of child protection, human rights and justice in Burundi, the DR Congo, Egypt, Haiti, India, Kyrgyzstan, Romania, Tanzania, the Gambia and the USA.

In reality, Gabriel is merely a passionate observer of life. His photographs to him serve as his small, quiet celebration of humanity in this world in a hurry. Seeking meaning and identity, looking for why.

His photography has been accidentally published in the New York Times, El País, Huffington Post Canada, multiple United Nations publications and through the War Crimes Research Office of the American University Washington College of Law. It was exhibited at the UN Headquarters and somehow appeared on the big Time Square screens.

Currently, Gabriel lives in Guyana with his family, working with UNICEF, the best job in the world.
The latter makes it a little less painful not to have nearly enough time to find stories and create images.

Unless stated otherwise, Gabriel’s photography stands in no relation to his professional work with the UN. It is created during his private free time and reflects his personal views only.
