Yesterday was World Photography Day … yes, I am a little late to the party, but I was actually on assignment, photographing! I had a think about what photos I should post to celebrate this day and concluded that I should go with something a little self-indulgent!
World Photography Day is an annual, worldwide celebration of the art, craft, science, and history of photography. I am going to take this opportunity of saluting every photographer who expresses themselves through whatever device it is that they take pictures with. I have great respect for you all, from photojournalists on the front line of telling the truth to environmental photographers capturing the beauty of our plant, humanitarian photographers, art photographers, commercial photographers, students, and amateurs who love to experiment.
I have photographed in over 70 different countries, documenting subjects as diverse as mask dancing festivals in Burkina Faso, the effects of the Chernobyl disaster in the Ukraine and the aftermath of 9/11 in New York. I am passionate about my work and embrace the challenges of collaborating with global corporations, magazines and NGOs alike. Every assignment is different, and, as such, is approached uniquely. I am always on the lookout for new creative partnerships.
