GOOD COPY

In GOOD COPY photographer Peter Hendricks (b. 1955) is at the same time observer, narrator and part of the story. The photographs that he made for the past seven years of his wife and growing children are the basis for this project. He combines these personal images, extremely recognisable as such by their style, with photographs of famine and war zones, made during his trips to Africa and the Balkans. In these photographs he tries to give form to the degree of emotional involvement that he experiences in watching world events. The project appeared in 2001 in book form.
