If you really want a job doing, you need to grab the bull by the horns, or in studio-mate Oli’s case, jump on a plane to Egypt. Olivier Kugler’s Cairo is a rich illustrative tapestry based on first hand experience, research and personal insight.
The prolific use of viewer generated content in news media has seen the idea of ‘on the ground’ reporting become a bit of a branded exercise in recent times. That is to say broadcasters either announce their exclusion from a situation or their direct access to unfettered information.
The Guardian picked up on this goldmine of alternative content to run a middle page spread worth every minute of time it takes to read and absorb. The content makes the broadsheet seem innovative and insightful, because, well, Olivier Kugler is innovative and insightful.

There’s a lot we can learn from self-taught photographer Matthias Heiderich – resident of Berlin, Germany and a man with a fine eye for superb composition within the constraints of the square format.
His colours are rich yet subtle, and he finds a graphic quality in what might – to a layman – seem like pretty unremarkable subjects; the mark of a great photographer I’d say. Heidreich obviously had a great tutor.
