Spencer Wynn is an internationally awarded editorial designer and documentary photographer. Working as a visual story teller he has lived in the Chinese deserts, the High Arctic, Greenland and the slums of Bhopal. While spending almost two years on a feature about Bhopal’s gas tragedy, Wynn visited and stayed in Bhopal, to cover the 30th anniversary. The people, the health and the resilience of those he met in the worst affected areas of Bhopal were the inspiration for Wynn’s documentary work on Bhopal.

We’re delighted to welcome Spencer as the latest guest host of our Instagram account starting today, 17th June.
