Children and Where They Sleep
James Mollison uses the power of series (and its inherent qualities of comparison, contrast, expectation and surprise ) to tell the very moving story of childhood around the world in his book Where Children Sleep.
“I hope the book gives a a glimpse into the lives some children are living in very diverse situations around the world; a chance to reflect on the inequality that exists, and realise just how lucky most of us in the developed world are,” says James.
Other series we've had on kids and schools around the world include:

Landscapes Crafted Out of Food by Carl Warner
English photographer Carl Warner:
“ Although I’m very hands on with my work, I do use model makers and food stylists to help me create the sets. I tend to start with a drawing which I sketch out in order to get the composition worked out, this acts as a blue print for the team to work to.”
