After quitting as senior photographer on the Bristol Evening Post EPUK member Alex Rumford spent a few months photographing in Nepal before beginning a pan-Asia journey that encompassed India, Bali, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

“The hard part of photography for me is being able to see things as they really are – not how you think they look,” says Alex who was travelling for one year.

“I had to be focused in seeing past what I thought looked interesting from a foreigner’s or tourist’s perspective, to what really looked good from a photographic point of view.”

Now based in London, Alex freelances for PR, editorial, charity and performance clients.

• Alex Rumford’s Asia is at the Jackson Lane Theatre, 269a Archway Road, Highgate, London N6 5AA, from March 31st to May 30th, 2010.

Prints are available from £60. For details contact info@alexrumford.com
