Dan Chung Artist in Camera
After completing a Geography degree in Plymouth and a NCTJ in Photojournalism at Sheffield College, Dan Chung went on to work for the Derby Evening Telegraph, News Team Birmingham and Reuters, and is now a staff photographer at The Guardian where he has been for the past four years.
Dan is particularly acclaimed for his work in Iraq in 2003, in Indonesia following the Tsunami in 2004, and in Pakistan in aftermath of the Earthquake in 2006. Of the photographs he produced during this time, Dan writes: 'I'm pleased with the work I've done lately in disaster areas such as those affected by the Tsunami, and when I was based in Pakistan. The idea that people might pause to think about an image that I've brought into the public domain, perhaps on the bus or the tube or over their lunch, is really rewarding'.
