Nine photos (above) by Sam have been chosen for the exhibition which launches tonight and continues at CHQ until November 15.

“With every member of the public possessing high-resolution camera-phones and the continuing debate concerning future news platforms, the place of the press photographer is under pressure as never before. However if you love the job as I do, all this is quickly pushed aside. There’s more to a strong image than just point-and-shoot.”

Oooh.
