ANDREW SKOWRON | farm animals photographer

Hi, my name is Andrew.

I am a farm animal photographer and an animal rights activist. For over a decade I've worked in a big newspaper as a photojournalist but then decided to dedicate my life and work to documenting the reality behind factory farm walls.

In my life, I've witnessed a lot of suffering. I've been to more factory farms than I can count. I have been to hell and back.

Through my work, I want to raise awareness, expose cruel industries which exploit animals for greed, in the name of consumption. Many stories will never be told because they are hidden behind the high walls of factory farms, but some of them manage to get out. Sometimes I think I'm a soldier and my camera is my weapon I use to fight injustice.

I don't want to tell sad stories only. I also want to share beautiful, heart-warming stories of animals who escaped the horror of a farm or a slaughterhouse and got their happily ever after. The animals who are now safe, taken care of, and get to experience unconditional love for the first time in their lives. I really hope these stories will touch people's hearts and make them more compassionate towards farm animals, make them realise they are no different from the pets living in our houses.

If you find my work useful and would like to support me, I would really appreciate your help. All the funds I raise go to investigations and expenses that come with, like photography gear, travel costs, and accommodation.

Thank you for all your help. It's a difficult fight and I cannot do it on my own.

Yours, Andrew
