Tim Wallace 'rested' a blossoming career in newspaper photojournalism to work in an altogether more '9 to 5' environment. But picking up the camera again as he approached 40, he commented to his wife on holiday that he'd like to become a commercial photographer. He's now one of the most respected car photographers worldwide with a growing aviation and aerospace client portfolio too.

#244 Colombian civil war; a photographic 'learning ground!' Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Jason P. Howe did not go to college to study photojournalism, yet he has been widely recognised for his work covering conflict and civil war by peers at the highest level. Working in a photographic shop for the best part of a decade, he decided to sell everything he owned and departed for Colombia with fifty rolls of film and a Leica rangefinder camera to 'get stuck in and learn as he went along.' The result is his book Colombia 'Between the lines,' a determined story dedicated to the people of Colombia and their search for peace. See the SHOW PAGE for examples of Jason's work.
