From taking photographs and traveling the world with the likes of Oasis and Miriah Carey to showing war at its worst as photojournalist, Giles Duley has seen more than many of us but after stepping on an explosive device, an IED, during a visit to Afghanistan in 2011 he has experienced more than most of us too.
The explosion left Giles a triple amputee, losing both his legs and an arm yet he returned to Afghanista in 2012 to continue his work. Since then he has continued to work as a photographer and set up the NGO Legacy of War Foundation, an international charity supporting communities and individuals as the rebuild their lives after conflict. He is a campaigner for the rights of both refugees and those living with disability.
Giles has also worked a presenter making documentaries for Channel 4 and VICE, a series which billed him as the one-armed chef, a food is another Giles passions with which he connects to those he photographs to tell their stories.
