New photos from Shadow of the Bear

Here are a few images from the Shadow of the Bear project from my last trip to Georgia. The project is progressing really well. I think 1 more trip to Ukraine in September might well see the shooting part of the project completed.

















































Invisible: London

A few random photos from the many I shot this summer for my London project.
Getting ready to go to Latvia to teach at the ISSP workshop during the whole of next week. Really looking forward to meeting both the other photographers teaching and the students. Usually I get a lot from these workshops, especially from the enthusiasm and energy of young photographers.

Exhibition images at CIAC Foligno, Italy

 CII went to the opening last week of our joint exhibition at the CIAC Museum, in Foligno, Umbria.
I was really impressed with the museum, a contemporary  rust covered cube from the outside and light, bright and spacious inside.
This is the first time someone has put Vanessa's and my Turkey work together. The dynamic between the two was interesting, adding an extra layer of meaning to the individual works.
For this I must thank Daniele Mattioli for inviting us both, Emanuele De Donno for doing a great job with the installation and Piter Foglietta, the organisor of Canti e Discanti.

A couple of curators have mentioned putting our work together but this is the first time it has happened.
Really looking forward to seeing how it holds together.

Ukraine: In the shadow of the bear

My agency in Italy, Prospekt, has uploaded some of my new work from Ukraine on their website.
I haven't got round to putting it on my site. It is very much a work in progress and is part of the larger "In the shadow of the Bear" project I am hoping to complete this year. See previous post
You can see the work HERE.

It's worth having a look around the Prospekt features.
