Good People In Bad Places - Gavin John
Today’s featured guest is Gavin John
Gavin is a freelance photojournalist based out of Calgary a city in Alberta, Canada. His work has been featured in the Sun Media papers across Canada and Maclean’s Magazine. Gavin was deployed in the Philippines to photograph the Canadian armed forces in their recovery efforts following Typhoon Haiyan. Most recently Gavin spent a week in Pyongyang, North Korea where he documented daily life in the capital.
Message from Rob:It's not every day you meet someone like Gavin. His work is inspiring and his stories are beyond fascinating. I learned about Gavin through a Documentary on Netflix called "The Propaganda Game". It is so new that it isn't yet offer on Netflix Canada yet so Gavin hasn't seen it. Although he did live it. I want to remind you Photo World that no matter how far fetched you think it is to meet someone, sending an email or tweeting to them can make all the difference. I don't know if I would have ever had the opportunity to interview Gavin if I didn't just try with an email following the slightest introduction through a Documentary on Netflix. You just never know what life can bring.
Gavin John is a 30 year old freelance photojournalist based out of Calgary, AB, Canada. He graduated from the Photojournalism program at SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary and has freelanced for the PostMedia paper The Calgary Sun since 2013. Gavin's passion lies in work centered around conflict and crisis and the human stories in affected regions. His work ranges from working in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan, North Korean daily life, to the war against ISIS in Iraq.
His work has been featured in Sun Media papers across Canada, Macean's Magazine, The Guardian, and FoxNews.
