Photographer Radford Davis is exhibiting imagery from Sierra Leone, capturing the lives, conditions and challenges of people in one of the poorest countries on Earth. Davis is an Associate Professor of Public Health in Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University. His passion is documenting our world and its people. The photographs in this exhibit come from his time spent in Sierra Leone in 2010 and 2012.
Davis' photographs often focus on global health, humanitarian efforts, global life and societal conditions. To tell the full story, he strives to capture the beauty of the land and the people, the hope and energy, the art, the intimate stories and lives affected. Above all else, he wants his photos to serve a purpose and promote progress in some manner.
