Alastair McNaughton: To glimpse ourselves in others

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

Whether it’s the children of the Australian outback desert or the crocodile lady of Cuba, Alastair McNaughton’s environmental portraiture rejects the propaganda of despair so fashionable in much of today’s photojournalism and offers a rare opportunity to meet ourselves through the faces of other cultures.

Aesthetically, Alistair’s photography ranges from the stylised mantra of Salgado to the intuitive and reflexive timing reminiscent of Bresson.

You’ll find Alastair McNaughton’s portfolio and original prints for sale at his Desert Images website.
