Paul Choy

Paul Choy is a British-born documentary photographer and author based in Mauritius. For three decades, he has documented everyday life in more than 60 countries on six continents, creating a visual and written record of ordinary people, ordinary days, and the times we live in.

His book Still Here (Rockhopper Books, 2026) is a portrait of fourteen remote communities across eastern and southern Africa, following the lives of people living far from roads and cities as the rains become less certain and the young decide whether to stay or leave.

Paul is a Goodwill Ambassador for IOM, the UN Migration Agency, in the East, Horn and Southern Africa region, which spans 25 countries. He holds press accreditation from the National Union of Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists.
