Just back from a week in the Egyptian desert where I shot a story (which will be called 'The Devil's Garden') about Bedouin communities living within World War II Allied and Axis minefields. These are the first few images I've processed.
I'd researched this story for the best part of eight months and focused so much on the idea that when we actually started meeting people that had been directly affected it was often overwhelming. I really can't overstate my gratitude to the Bedouin people who granted us access to their communities, invited us into their homes to share their stories and guided us through a hazardous landscape.
Thanks also to Moataz, my translator/driver, who battled the desert tirelessly with his Nissan Sunny.
