Rafal Milach

I met Rafal Milach at last years World Press Photo in Amsterdam, so I was delighted to hear he'd won this years Photography Book Now award.
I thought it would be interesting to make a joint exhibition with my own work from the Black Sea sometime.

Prospekt Photographers

Last Friday I was at the inauguration of the new Prospekt photographers space.
My partner George Georgiou is one of the photographers of this small agency with a growing reputation, and also one that seems to be surviving in a difficult market. Now they have a new gallery to show off their works.
