Photographer Gets a Second Chance at Life, Embarks on a 100 Portrait Journey

In 2011, photographer Giles Duley stepped on a land mine while working in Afghanistan. Originally a celebrity portrait photographer who had been turned off to celebrity culture by the people he was photographing, he had always hoped to return to portraiture.

That's why, during his 46-day fight for his life in intensive care, it was to portraiture that his mind turned, and a project took shape.
