Reviews

George Butler reports from the frontline of humanity producing images of astonishing power. They stay in the mind for a long time. Humane, compassionate and deeply thought-provoking. * Stephen Fry * Reportage of aching beauty – Butler’s gentle engagement draws out stories of profound sadness, but also courage and strength. * Lyse Doucet * George is a truly remarkable person - there is so much courage, curiosity and empathy behind these precise, sometimes playful, unexpected images of humans in extremity. He always makes me think. * Rory Stewart * Reportage illustration at its finest. * Ian Hislop * George Butler is in the front rank of chroniclers of our troubled times. His work shows the power of paper and ink in the digital age. * Jeremy Bowen *
