"Early in my career, I realized I wanted to tell the stories of people. Today I shoot advertising, but not run-of-the-mill, everyday, advertising catalog work. I'm brought in when there's a narrative, a story to tell.
"My documentary photography reflects my commitment to help others. Working in areas like Sudan is like bringing light into darkness."
One of the world's foremost documentary photographers, Colin covers important issues such as African famine and child labor. He is a four-time Picture of the Year winner. In pursuit of his passion, he has circled the globe 27 times in search of that image that will make a difference in the lives of the people he photographs.
