“For more than 15 years, Ian has been photographing the gorillas, chimpanzees, monkeys, community members and staff at Ape Action Africa. Through his images he captures the true meaning of ‘sanctuary’. From the moment an orphan arrives to when they eventually form new family relationships Ian’s photos encapsulate all of an individual’s emotions - from fear and loneliness to finally joy and peace. Ian’s camera gives a voice to the voiceless and provides their stories a chance to be seen.”

Rachel Hogan OBE, Director, Ape Action Africa

“I want to extend my deepest thanks on behalf of Bridge Darebin for creating such a beautiful video of our beloved child care centre. It is such a challenge to express how wonderful a place is in words, sometimes moving images are the best way of communicating, this is certainly the case in this instance. You have skillfully captured the essence of what we are trying to achieve, that sense of inclusion, creativity and warmth shines through. You had many of us in tears at first viewing!”

Ramona Barry, General Manager, Bridge Darebin

“I have been lucky to creatively collaborate with Ian over many years in a wide range of different settings. He is fantastic to work with, he is patient and takes time to understand the needs of every project. He is considerate and purposeful and always strives to produce engaging stories. Ian’s skills in image making, both still and moving, are next level, professional and simply stunning. I wholeheartedly recommend you take the chance to create with him while you can.”
