Stephane Lanoux & The Rohingya Community
“Being a Rohingya” photography project The Rohingya community has been depicted as “among the world’s least wanted” and “one of the world’s most persecuted minorities.” Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called the violence against Rohingya a “slow genocide.” Despite deep concerns expressed recently by The Dalai Lama, President Barack Obama, the U.S. State Department and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the recent country transition towards a more democratic government, the situation will not improve anytime soon. The Rohingya people have been my main motivation for a trip to Myanmar last April… Read More

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 25 years but the desire to make photographic images has been with me since the age of twelve when I first say the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, his work would become a life long inspiration to me. The majority of my working life was spent with the British Army working as a PR and combat photographer covering the highs and lows of military life from simple parades to conflict and war in the Balkans and Iraq. I left the Army in 2007 after 22 years… Read More

So many years, perhaps too many, have passed since in a remote village in Italy, Bivona, Sicily I started taking pictures using for some time an Agfa Silette. Then, I bought an Alpa 10d, a fine camera, although awkward and slow to use. Then as now I am convinced that it is not the camera that makes a person a good photographer, but it is certain that the creative or technical perfection simply needs the right tools. Standard lens have been joined by a 28 Angénieux and a 100 Kinoptik: incomparable performance… Read More
