Description:

The wistful understanding of the transience of life...

Alex and Gavin discuss:

  • The hunt for a personal truth in the larger body of one's work. 
  • Shooting exclusively on film. 
  • 'Thin Places'. 
  • The way a photograph should be consumed. 
  • The strange interplay between seemingly unrelated work. 

Gavin Maxwell is a leading film-maker and photographer who has spent over 20 years making natural history, anthropological and environmental programmes for the BBC Natural History Unit and BBC Science.

His Wild China and Japan: Earth’s Enchanted Islands programmes have been viewed by millions of people worldwide. 

Gavin has also co-written two books for Random House, and lectured at the Royal Geographical Society in the UK and abroad. This year one of his large format film photographs of a human skeleton is a finalist Royal Photographic Society International Print competition.
