"I wish I was part of this family"

Tom Saater is one of Nigeria's top photographers. He's the 'go to' for big international titles like the New York Times, Huffington Post and Bloomberg amongst many others. But he didn't learn his trade at a prestigious college, he learned it while living on the streets. Tom's covered stories from the insurgency in northern Nigeria to elections and climate change, but one of his most emotional projects has involved using his camera to find himself the family he never had.
