Trust

Simon Townsley is an acclaimed international photojournalist and three times recipient of the British Press Photographer of the Year Award.

Simon says about trust – ‘Trust is an essential value in being able capture a powerful image, but trust isn’t just between subject and photographer. It criss-crosses all threads from publisher and authorities to photographer and subject. It is a privilege to be able to bear witness, and it is one I seek to honour. By creating compelling images of distressing situations I can break down the barriers that stop people engaging, to open their eyes without fear and broaden their perspective’.
