"I would go out looking for some light. As a landscape photographer, I feel light, is the most important part of the narrative. Photographer will face the light in three ways: to study the need, to know how to find and how to capture it. The finding is that I spend most of my time when I'm in the field, and I have to share this practice with advanced photographers that might be useful to them."

In October 2010, Simon Norfolk began a series of new photographs in Afghanistan, which takes its cue from the work of nineteenth-century British photographer John Burke. Norfolk's photographs reimagine or respond to Burke's Afghan war scenes in the context of the contemporary conflict. Conceived as a collaborative project with Burke across time, this new body of work is presented alongside Burke's original portfolios.
