Giles Duley was born in 1971 in London. After 10 years as an editorial photographer in the fashion and music industries in the United States and Europe, Duley now focuses on humanitarian projects, working with several respected charities to highlight lesser-known stories that deserve public attention and action. Although documenting challenging and sometimes horrific situations, Duley captures the strength of those who fight rather than succumb to adversity. In 2011, while on patrol in Afghanistan with the United States Army’s 75th Cavalry Regiment, Duley stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED). He lost both legs and an arm. Despite his injuries, Duley is again working as a photographer. His work has been exhibited and published worldwide in many respected publications, including Vogue, GQ, Esquire, Rolling Stone, the Sunday Times, the Observer, and the New Statesman.
