Artist's Biography – Simon Norfolk was born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1963. He graduated with degrees in philosophy and sociology from Oxford and Bristol universities in England. He initially worked as a documentary photographer for a far-left publication company and specialized in displaying anti-racist activities and fascist groups. Then in 1994, he gave up photojournalism to take up his desire as a landscape photographer. He captured landscapes all over the world with his images that relay powerful messages.
Personal Reaction – I really enjoy his work as an artist. The scenes that he captures are very powerful and show a glimpse of what the environments are like around the world. It is great to view as a person that has not traveled to any of these places. It allows a true understanding of what life is like over there.
