Faisal Magray is a photojournalist based in India. His work revolves around documenting global and local issues - primarily focussing on human rights, climatic change, conflict aftermath and socio economics. The emergence of turmoil in Kashmir and ongoing violence made him turn to photojournalism because he believe that visual journalism is a powerful story-telling medium. He started his career in Kashmir at a young age and chronicled the troubled region with focus on human rights and daily life. In 2014 he moved to New Delhi and started working with Cover Asia Press, a UK based press agency in New Delhi, where he covered women issues, health, conflict and lifestyle.
