JR in Palestine

Over the last eight weeks, Sara and I have had the pleasure of getting to know better an amazing group of people who we knew before, but nowhere near as well as we do now. 

One of the people who we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend some time with during the weeks before Wooster on Spring, is the French photographer JR

Still in his 20’s, JR has has already lived a life that most of us can only dream about. Hearing the stories behind his 28 Millimetres project, and getting to understand the intelligence and sensitivity that JR brings to his work, confirmed to us that in time JR will be known as one of the great photographers of his generation.

Unable to attend the opening of Wooster on Spring because he was in Palestine shooting a new series of photographs, JR sent us these images to keep in touch…
