Photographing Africa Bbc 4

[Nick Lukey]

Exceptional images, a great story with superb filming and images by a guy called Harry Hook.
A must see.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Another excellent photography related programme. The real stars of the show were his beautiful subjects.

 

[Nick Lukey]

Indeed so and captured with such humility, showed me a view of Africa not covered by the usual offerings.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Exactly so Nick. And the fact that the presenter and narrator was the actual photographer was a real winner.

I was getting a little worried for him when he visited the pastoral tribe, you know the ones that dye their hair in cow piss Some of those images were wonderful. Also liked the hunting of the baboon and the image at the end, not for the bloodiness of it, but for the fact that these are true hunter gatherers with no interest in money or modern ways.

Agree with all that but I thought the image of the baboon laid out after being killed was very disturbing.
I'll have a look at your link now and thanks for posting it Nick.

Thanks for the link Nick. I'll watch the documentary later on the iPlayer.
