London Riots – links
Now that they’re over and done with* I was considering writing a post on what it was like covering the London Riots. The riots, which some say were inevitable and others say came out of the blue, saw most of the press photographers across London and the other cities involved doing their best to take pictures under some rather hideous and trying conditions at great personal risk.
Rather than my inevitable waffling on the subject I’ve decided to push through a few links to the work of three others whose work does a much better job of showing what went on and shot much better work than I.
AFP’s Leon Neal (on Twitter as @tabascokid)
AP’s Lewis Whyld (on Twitter as @LewisWhyld)
Getty’s Dan Kitwood (on Twitter as @dkitwood)
And also The Boston Globe’s two galleries on the subject, encompassing the work of several other agency photographers.
*For now…?
