Acerca del libro
The concept, which I started in 2005 in Glastonbury, is a free studio in which people are photographed against a white background. The funding came from Urban Fusions and thanks to Jessops I was able to offer a free print to everyone.
With the help of two assistants and a team of volunteers - despite the wettest spring in history - we photographed over 4000 people and an exhibition of 1000 selected images was held the following summer.
The White Tent pictures have been published all over the world and the ongoing project has covered a wide variety of interest groups ranging from a festival of erotica to the Tall People’s club.

Acerca del creador
I was born in London in 1948. Having originally studied theoretical chemistry I won a scholarship from the Royal College of Art to do an MA in photography. This opportunity saw the start of my career, which began in 1976 when I won the Vogue Award and worked as a staff photographer for the magazine. I have produced several books, founded the Network photographers agency and photographed for magazines throughout the world including Life & National Geographic and received the Oscar Barnac award in 1991 In recent years, my work has become more diverse: I have been working on short films, explored different styles of portraiture and have worked extensively for corporate and advertising clients. I am currently working on 3 major projects, a film entitled Flow, Visual Noise (an exploration of image & messaging in the visual landscape) and “The White Tent”, a portrait project using a mobile white tent across the UK from Glastonbury to a festival of erotica.
