David Campion bought a camera with the money he received for not smoking before he turned eighteen and has been making photographs ever since. Coming of age in apartheid South Africa gave him a distrust of dominant social mythologies and an appreciation of the power of photography to reshape a society’s self image. His projects are undertaken in collaboration with his wife, writer Sandra Shields; together they are the authors of two books, Where Fire Speaks (Arsenal Pulp 2002) and The Company of Others (Arsenal Pulp / Plan Institute 2005).
