Anyway, I think the schedule has me talking from 10.30am and if you come along please feel free to ask lots of questions, it makes the whole experience a lot more interactive!

This is amazing news for me. Back in about 1999 or 2000 my then tutor Dick Brownridge held up Portfolio as where to look for what is happening in contemporary photography so to have my own work featuring a decade later is an honour indeed. If you have never come across this title before, you really need to have a look. It’s subscription and also available from exclusive bookshops and galleries in London. The Photographer’s Gallery bookshop is the place I would go for it but don’t take your credit card -their range of books is fantastic and I can’t leave without spending more than i should!

The issue features work by some really great photographers alongside myself, notably Nadav Kander, Edward Burtynsky, Ed Kashi, Guy Tillim, IIan Godfrey, Teresa Eng, Dana Popa and essays by David Bate, Simon Baker, Francis Hodgson, Michael J Watts and Kobena Mercer.

To get the issue straight from Portfolio or to subscibe, visit their website. Issue #51 with my work is listed here
