Due to the nature of his work Marc Davenant does not give video or audio interviews. He believes that the focus must always be on the people in his photographs and their stories rather than his. He does not believe that ego has any place in social documentary photography. He will give the occasional written interview with responsible media outlets.
Media requests for audio or video interviews can be facilitated via our charity partners or by participants in the projects who act as spokespeople. Please use the contact page to get in touch and we will do our best to oblige.
