Visa Pour l’Image started on Monday in Perpignan – we’ll be there on Saturday, and I’ve been checking out some of the exhibitions, and exhibiters, before we arrive.
One we’ll certainly not miss is Stanley Green, who sadly died in May this year.

Green had a long association with Visa, and even launched the agency NOOR with Kadir van Lohuizen at the 19th edition of Visa in September 2007. I’m looking forward to seeing this retrospective of his work.
This year there are exhibits from Michael Nichols, National Geographic ‘A Wild Life’, the World Press Photo winner and runners up, Angela Ponce Romero ‘Ayacoucho’ photographed in Peru, and many more – this is going to take a while!
