Jamie Hawkesworth
Aperture Conversations
19 April 2022
Jamie Hawkesworth creates understated, contemplative images of daily life, guided by a sense of wanderlust that has taken him across the world. Since making his name in fashion photography, Hawkesworth has used any available space in his work schedule to go on trips to places he hasn’t visited before, creating a dreamscape from everyday encounters in scenes from Detroit to Mongolia.
Join us on April 19 for a virtual conversation between @jamie.hawkesworth and Alistair O’Neill on the British photographer’s profile in Aperture’s new issue, “Celebrations,” which considers how photographs envision ceremonies, festivities, and the exuberance of everyday life.

An Intense Fascination with Photographs
Photo London
24 September 2021
Philippe Garner celebrates in December his half-century as an auction specialist in the field of photographs. Alongside his devotion to photographs, he has also become internationally respected as a specialist in late-19th-century and 20th-century decorative arts and design. In conversation with Alistair O’Neill, a friend with whom he shares many interests, Garner will look back over his career, and further back to the crystallisation in his teenage years of the intense curiosity regarding the visual and performing arts that has been such a driving force in his life.

Guy Bourdin
BBC News World Service
1 December 2014
The French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin was a protégé of
the American visual artist Man Ray. It's been said that his work blurs the
boundaries between the real and the surreal, and that it's more about the image
than the fashion. Some say it objectifies women. Fashion historian Alistair
O'Neill is a curator at a new exhibition of his work in London.
