Adam Hinton came to my University as a guest speaker and his talk was inspiring, not only the quality of his work but the quantity was unbelievable. He spoke of how he seized every opportunity and was always willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot, this showed in the diversity of the work on his website. The most valuable aspect of his presentation for me was when he spoke of the industries demand for moving image now and how this was a skill that the modern photographer must have, the films Adam has on his site show how he has transferred his editorial approach to photography into film and one that stood out for me was the "New Gaza Film".

Below is an image Adam shot in Shanghai and when speaking he described his approach to observational work and he said things such as "How us as people become subjects" and that "We understand how we fit into our society".
