Silence of the Mansion

An abandoned mansion lies in ruin. The memories and

belongings of its former occupants are all that is left

within its walls. The chairs, bedrooms, a piano, a book

and even an old painting of young children, fail to tell the

full story of the people and lives that once lived here.

Six Degrees South

Poor coastal communities around the

world are su ering as a result of

industrialised shing expeditions and the

slow rise in sea levels. The next 20 years

will likely see shermen and their

communities all negatively a ected by

this phenomenon and possibly leading

to millions having to abandon the shores

and move into urban areas inland.

Underwater Dreams

A beautiful mixture of contemporary,

underwater, fashion and portrait

photography all infused into a group of

photographs like never before. Elegance

and beauty can tell a story even in the

least conventional settings.

Digging for the Future

Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, yet ranks fourth in Africa’s production of gold.

Much of this gold comes from small-scale mines, where children work alongside their parents from dawn to

dusk in very hazardous conditions. Mines collapse frequently, and the working environment is intoxicated

with dangerous chemicals like mercury, which is used in the process of extracting gold.

Rebirth

A major earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter

scale jolted China’s Sichuan Province on May

12th , 2008, killing over 87,000 people and

injuring about 37,000. The photographer rushed

to the quake zone and took many photographs of

the disaster scenes and a ected people. One year

later, the photographer returned to Sichuan to

re-visit the a ected people he’d photographed.

He did the same ve years after that.
