I just found a box of 9 test prints that I made in 2016 for the first exhibition of The Horsemen of Semonkong. They are small (178mm x 220mm - that's a bit bigger than A5). I have signed them all on the back with an edition of AP 1/1 (that's Artist Proof 1 of 1).

I had no idea of the severity of the situation until I arrived in the bustling coastal town, on my own with no idea where I was going or who I would be meeting. I had the name of my hotel and the number for a man called Raj, that was all.

As soon as I saw the building and heard the story I knew that we had to retake the portrait. The crumbling kitchen not only created a more dramatic scene but was also an honest visual narrative that told their story in an instant. This is what you hope for as an environmental photographer, every time you arrive at someones house. A simple scene that perfectly captures the story.
