Over seven years, he took photographs of migrants from Africa, Asia and South America, many of whom had fled ethnic and religious conflict and genocidal regimes. Often his subjects, particularly the children, stare at the camera - strong, confrontational, giddy, laughing, heroic, even in their despair.² Simon Hattenstone, The Guardian.
