About

Currently based in Beijing, China. I am a British freelance photojournalist specialising in travel and documentary photography.


I finished a 1 year paid internship at Magnum Photos in their London office in 2005. Prior to this I graduated from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England in Zoology. My current photographic projects stem from my interests in social and environmental issues in Asia, with specific emphasis on China. I have however lived and worked on 4 continents, spending extended periods of time in countries as diverse as Japan, Brazil, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.


My work from China has receieved funding from the David Alan Harvey Fund for Emerging Photographers 2008, been shortlisted for the World Press Joop Swart Masterclass 2007, the Joan Wakelin Bursary 2006 (UK Guardian Newspaper and Royal Photographic Society) and I was awarded a scholarship to attend the ‘Focus on Monferrato’ workshop hosted by Toscana Photographic Workshops (www.tpw.it) in 2005. My work has been displayed with the Ian Parry Scholarship in association with The Sunday Times Magazine and has been published in print with publications including The Globe & Mail, Die Zeit, The British Journal of Photography, The Sunday Herald Magazine and Immersion Guides. My notable online publications also include work with BBC News Online and the current affairs/democracy website openDemocracy.net


I am available for editorial/corporate/advertising commissions through my contact details above. If you have any questions about me or my work, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

US Visa for British Citizens

Dear All,

I am traveling to the States for the first time to attend the Festival of the Photograph in June. I have heard that British citizens do not need to get a visa for short trips prior to arriving, due to our ‘special relationship’ with the US. Can anyone confirm this with me? The visa application procedure here in Beijing seems somewhat laborious and is even hard work to speak to a real human being. Any thoughts would be appreciated on this.

If you intend to attend the festival by the way, hope to see some fellow LS’ers there.

Thanks and Best,
Sean
