Magazine articles
A few of my favourite magazine articles from my journalism days.
Exposing the Face of War
Philip Jones Griffith’s retrospective
I interview the curator of the National Library of Wales about the impact of Griffith’s images on the sentiment surrounding the Vietnam war.
California Girl
Rare Marylin Monroe images
I speak to Cassandra Johnson from the Steven Kasher Gallery about these rare early images of Marylin from before she became an icon, and about the discovery of new images buried for years in her fiance’s garden.
Empty Handed
A photographic commentary on mobile devices
Eric Pickersgill’s images became an internet sensation when they created a debate about our use of mobile devices. I spoke to him about this work, documenting the isolating effects of modern smart-phones.
Motion Capture
Capturing Movement in Dance
I interview Lois Greenfield about how she captures her beautiful images of dancers in-flux and about her new book: Moving Still.
