My long running project looking at China’s relationship with the natural world was published in Tortoise Media last week as a nice long photo essay feature.  Read the full feature here. 

I took a trip down to Brighton seafront on the 70th day of ‘lockdown’, ie the 30th of May. Being the last weekend before further restrictions were to be eased I found a festival-like atmosphere on the seafront.  There has never been a sunnier spring in the UK and an overwhelmingly young demographic of Brighton and Hove residents were out enjoying it. Largely exciting but also a little worrying to see.. Heres an edit. 

I was fortunate enough to work on a story about the increasing risks migrants are taking  by crossing the English Channel in small boats that are ill equiped, overcrowded and never intended to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.  The story involved portraits of a young Iranian migrant child who for obvious reason had to remain anonymous and a n amazing lady from Folkstone helping these desperate kids.  It was also a great chance to go up Belle-tout Lighthouse near Beachy Head.  The  stry can also be seen here: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/feb/15/migrants-cold-wet-frightened-crossing-channel-in-tiny-boats

As a winner of the Portrait of Britain Award, my winning portrait of a young farmer in Somerset was published in the Portrait of Britain vol 2 book. Finally got hold of it! 

My series of images looking at a Mars Simulation base in the Gobi Desert in a remote part of North West China was published by Culture Trip magazine. Font layout is certainly different! To see the whole set of images please view the gallery https://www.jonbrowning.co.uk/chinas-mars-simulation-base
