Larry Towell 8

Larry Towell's sensitivity towards the human subject has guided his work since he began developing black and white film at university. Fifty years later, he is one of Canada's foremost photographers and has produced work on conflicts taking place from Afghanistan to Nicaragua. In his own words, "If there's one theme that connects all my work, I think it's that of landlessness; how land makes people into who they are and what happens to them when they lose it."
