Jamie Hawkesworth and Alistair O’Neill

Join Aperture for an online public program to celebrate the spring issue of Aperture magazine, “Celebrations,” which considers ceremonies, festivities‚ and how close observation can honor everyday life.

The event will feature a conversation between British photographer Jamie Hawkesworth and Alistair O’Neill, professor of fashion history and theory at Central Saint Martins, London.

Jamie Hawkesworth creates understated, contemplative images of daily life, guided by a sense of wanderlust that has taken him across the world, from Antarctica and Mongolia to places closer to home, as seen in his celebrated book The British Isles (2021). For Aperture magazine’s spring issue, “Celebrations,” Hawkesworth selected a group of previously unpublished photographs from a body of work in development, a mix of portraits and landscapes that offers a fragmented picture of the twenty-first-century world. Working between documentary and fashion, shooting for publications such as Vogue, Love, and the New York Times, and for brands such as Alexander McQueen and Holland & Holland, Hawkesworth has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary photography.
