Nominee
"Reflections"
Man of the Dinka tribe of South Sudan. A village elder who has long lost his sight, his eyes reflect back the world as clearly as mirrors.
Biography: London-based photographer specialising in portrait photography that explores and documents social groups that should benefit from wider public recognition.
Recent projects completed include a study on the tribal self-scarification performed by the Dinka of South Sudan, a series on the activities of a group dedicated to preserving UK chalk stream rivers, a photoessay on the last surviving leper colony in Mauritius and my bursary-entry series, The London Book Trade.
