Stephen Hyde and I have worked together for over ten years on a whole range of photographic assignments, the most memorable for me was airside at Heathrow for British Airways. Our most recent project was for Crealy Adventure Park in the summer which was great fun. If the budget is available the team of Photographer and Art Director brings about excellent results. Of particular interest on Steve's site are his excellent portrait and people shots.

Magnum has been a hot bed of reportage photography for many years and continues to be so. One of my personal favourite photographers is Larry Towell. On this site you can see some of his gripping shots of the Mennonite communities.
