Overview
Editor David Drake journeys through Jones Griffiths’ Welsh childhood to capture the development of his political and photographic sensibilities, evident in early images of antinuclear protests, 1960s Beatlemania, and the war for Algerian independence. Moving to his documentation of the Vietnam War, carefully selected plates present Jones Griffiths’ long-term commitment to shining a light on the realities of conflict and recovery.
This passion for truth-telling saw Jones Griffiths embark on assignments across the globe. Following him from Northern Ireland to Mongolia and the United States, this publication captures not only Jones Griffiths' skill as a documentarian, but his commitment to the wider photographic community. As president of the renowned photo collective Magnum Photos, Jones Griffiths remained a passionate defender of the medium.
Featuring texts by David Drake and contributions from photographer Donna Ferrato and novelist Nguy?n Phan Qu? Mai, this is an essential photobook for all who value documentary photography created with principles, passion, and integrity.
