When I was asked to photograph some local Zambian Paralympic athletes I was excited by the idea of telling their relatively unknown story to the world. Very few people know that Zambia has capable Paralympic athletes who aspire to compete internationally. When I met this group of athletes, it was immediately evident to me that with the right support and backing, they can be successful. Being part of this shoot was my way of bringing awareness to this group of worthy individuals [those featured here are only some of the athletes included in the project], in the hope that we can one day send world-class athletes to the Games who will return with medals and make Zambia proud.
