Anthony Dawton is an award winning photographer who makes a living through commercial photography but wins his awards working for leading NGOs in some of the world’s most difficult places.
He is not a photojournalist. He says he always arrives too late for news images! He talks more than he shoots to avoid traumatising people and he finds the talking helps open spaces to allow stories to be told and feelings to be expressed. It is a process that brings about Dawton’s remarkable pictures.
