I find it interesting how his practice balances such involved, documentary-esque projects, with commercial work. What's the driving force? Is there genuine conviction and commitment behind what he does, in either practice? It is propelled by the need to tell people's stories, any kind of moral position, or does he just do it because he can? It's fascinating to think about. What a life.
I only wish he'd spoken more about the emotional/psychological factor of what he does. It's such a strange place he occupies, somewhere between journalist, draughtsman, visual reporter… Surely it's impossible to retain complete emotional detachment from his subjects, so how can anyone process seeing the horror of refugee camps? Wow wow wow.
