About

Nyani Quarmyne

Australia

Nyani Quarmyne is a freelance photographer based in Germany whose work centres on global health, social justice, and environmental issues. He is drawn to ‘One Health’ themes - stories that remind us that the wellbeing of humanity, our planet, and all its biodiversity must be seen as intrinsically connected.

Quarmyne has worked with a range of internationally recognised organisations and publications on topics ranging from famine in the Sahel to grassroots connectivity efforts in the Caucasus Mountains. His personal projects include work on climate change, snakebite envenomation, tramadol addiction, and the illegal importation of ‘bushmeat’ from the African continent into Europe.

Multi-ethnic and having lived on five continents, Quarmyne’s background and international worldview profoundly shape his photographic perspective. He is represented by Panos Pictures.
