Photojournalism Hub Jamie Clark in conversation with David Hadland

Interview

Photojournalism Hub Jamie Clark is in conversation with social documentary photographer David Hadland.

David Hadland is a British social documentary photographer originally from Luton and currently based in London. His work focuses on the lives and experiences of diverse communities, using portraiture to convey nuanced, human-centred stories. From British subcultures to the fishing community in Brixham, his photography explores themes of identity, culture, politics, and belonging.

David’s projects have included documenting the cultural significance of the keffiyeh during pro-Palestine protests in London, as well as an ongoing body of work about the war in Ukraine. A key aspect of his
practice is the commitment to building trust with his subjects, which allows him to create images that are intimate, honest, and sensitive to the complexities of lived experiences. Through this approach, David
aims to provide deeper insights into the social forces that shape contemporary life.

Photojournalism Hub in Conversation with Ryan Thomas

Interview

Som Prabh from the Photojournalism Hub was in conversation with award winning photojournalist Ryan Thomas on his photobook ‘Everything Will Kill You, So Choose Something Proactive’. The photobook is a collection of images shot from 2018 to 2022, mostly shot in Britain, with additional photographs taken in America and France. The work focuses on sublime, chaotic, and even peaceful (albeit disruptive) elements and has become an exploratory research into the similarities that bind rapidly fluid groups of people and the unpredictable energy that ensues. Ryan is a 23-year-old photojournalist currently based in Bristol, UK. He has an MA in Photojournalism from the University of Wales Trinity St. David’s Swansea. Ryan grew up in rural Wisconsin but have deep roots embedded in west Wales, the Land of my Fathers. Ryan covers a range of documentary subjects and has worked with a number of charities and enjoys being involved with intimate and personal projects just as much as the active aspects of protests and rallies. He has had editorial commissions with Huck Magazine, WalesOnline, Daily Mom, Oxfam UK, and DeafBlind UK and has had the good grace to be shortlisted for RPS International Photography Exhibition 164 2022 and reached 3rd place at the Arizona Congressional Photo Competition 2016.
