Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

I'm trying to amaze people with [visual] tricks they wouldn't expect, but allow them to realise it was all done so easily.
"This picture, 'Tarzan', was one of the very early ones. I live near a very old forest, so we had loads of vines at hand; we went outside on the patio of my mum's house and the kids started playing out Tarzan, wearing brown towels from the bathroom, while I was shooting from the bathroom window above."
