Add hundreds, if not thousands, of aptly dressed photographers to the South of France. Mix in a rather heavy bias towards wearing Canon's latest and greatest around your neck, sprinkle in a few keffiyehs, some ego's, a pinch of super star photographers and finally a dash of those purchasing work and you end up with Visa Pour L'Image in Perpignan. Having heard many stories about ...
Life isn't easy for us film users. Besides the numerous blog posts about film dying and favourite film stocks being sent to the emulsion graveyard, it's a tough job to find a lab these days who know what they are doing and don't treat you like a 80's throwback. I shoot film for a reason, I'm not naive and realise the march of technology is one many don't get in the way of, but ...
This weekend saw me heading up to the Northern Cape to start the project on the Bushman. The one thing that is a massive problem shooting in Africa, and indeed Southern Africa, is the sheer scale of the landscape. When I drove up to meet the elders of the camp a few weeks ago, I ended up doing a massive 1887 kilometers (1172 miles) in ...

For my final MA project, I'll be looking at the Khwe people who inhabit Southern Africa. The San, who are also called the Khwe (Khoe), Basarwa or Bushman, are nomadic hunter gatherers in Southern Africa. In the past hundred years, the San have experienced substantial changes to their nomadic lifestyles. As Southern Africa resolves decades of oppression and white rule, the struggle by the San ...
Flickr have recently announced that their relationship with Getty Images has been extended. Initially, only a select number of photographers had the ability to add images from their Flickr stream into the Getty collection. The process was rather simple: Getty employees would trawl through Flickr and look for images that would sell. A handful of images of mine were selected and I decided to see ...
The discerning British Journal of Photography graciously decided I was good enough to grace their newly designed web site and magazine with my Afrikaner project. To say I'm happy is an understatement, this man is over the moon at though of being included in such a prestigious publication. Many thanks to Diane Smyth over at the BJP for the interview.

A while back, Burma Issues, asked me if they could use one of the images I took inside a Burmese garment factory for a cover of their latest publication. It was recently published and I'm glad to be associated with an NGO looking after issues relating to Burmese citizens. You can read the PDF here. Hopefully I'll be back inside Burma finishing off ...
I've always had a soft spot for the magazine, it was always a companion when having Dim Sum in New World on a Saturday morning. It was quintessentially British in approach. The articles were well written and cut through the crap that many others failed to do. When the BJP decided to relaunch as a monthly magazine, I was intrigued as to how they'd ...
The prestigious BBC News have decided to run with my FRAG multimedia piece about Durban's growing E-sports athletes. This not only puts a massive smile on my face but also makes it worth the effort doing what we do. A big thank you has to go out to Phil Coomes, Picture Editor at the BBC. A few pints are now owed.
