Reviews
At last night's Ian Parry Scholarship exhibition outside City Hall. This year's winner @ezra_acayan showing Don McCullin his work on the drug war. With fellow scholars @tafadzwa_ufumeli @salahuddinahmed01 and @ibnali10 at the awards ceremony. @ianparryscholar #ianparryscholarship @ City Hall, London
Here's Jake Verzosa's series of Kalinga women featured on AnOther magazine.
Masahisa Fukase's show at @foam_amsterdam - Ravens in colour, the first time the series is being shown outside of Japan, moved me like no other work has. His large scale polaroids were exquisite, devoid of the flatness and slippery-ness most photographic prints have. Having Simon Baker (former head of Photography at Tate now with Maisonne Européene de la Photographie) sign the beautiful book published by @editionsxavierbarral made my day! ❤
From today until Sunday, Mapa Books will in Amsterdam at the @unseenplatform Book Market, 21-23 Sep @westergasfabriek in with the @photobookarchive . Come visit us at table 45 !
