Ta Mwe is a Burmese photojournalist, documentary photographer and filmmaker with experience covering a wide range of political and social stories throughout Myanmar. After many years working for national and international organisations as a photographer, videographer and video editor, Ta Mwe’s recent work has focused on analogue stills photography, covering first the COVID-19 crisis and then the country’s anti-coup protests and resultant civil war on medium-format black and white film stock. 

Ta Mwe has been recognised with awards from World Press Photo and Pictures of the Year Asia - including Photographer of the Year Finalist in 2022 - and his work has been supported by the W. Eugene Smith Fund, The VII Foundation and London’s Frontline Club.
