Jason P. Howe returns for the second part of his two parter as we follow him from Colombia to the Middle East. He talks of a brutal step change and how he made photographs of conflicts across the region, from surviving a suicide bomb attack, an IED on patrol with the British Army to a film made about his life. We talk about the mental toll of being a witness to war and conflict, those who choose to do it now, and how the next part of his life behind a camera is changing with a move to Andalusia. Photographs from this edition can be viewed on the SHOW PAGE.

Jason P. Howe did not go to college to study photojournalism, yet he has been widely recognised for his work covering conflict and civil war by peers at the highest level. Working in a photographic shop for the best part of a decade, he decided to sell everything he owned and departed for Colombia with fifty rolls of film and a Leica rangefinder camera to 'get stuck in and learn as he went along.' The result is his book Colombia 'Between the lines,' a determined story dedicated to the people of Colombia and their search for peace. See the SHOW PAGE for examples of Jason's work.
