Finlay
COLIN FINLAY is one of the foremost documentary photojournalists in the world and a four-time Picture of The Year Award
winner. Finlay's visual talent also allows him to work behind the video camera. In 2000, his news team won an Emmy award for the FOX documentary "Black & Brown: When Colors Collide," an exploration of interracial tensions between teenagers in Los Angeles.
Over the years, his reportage of important issues has earned him
a long list of other prestigious Industry awards. In 1997 he took
a first-place Issue Reporting Photography Award for his essay
"Child Labor". This same project was nominated for the ICP's prestigious
Infinity Award. His TIME Online multimedia essay, "Rickshaw
Pullers," won first place in 1998 for Best Online Photography
and also took the South East Asia Journalism Award. That same
year, his portfolio of news and feature photographs from around
the world earned him a third-place Magazine Photography of the
Year Award. Finlay's photo essay on child labor was also selected
for inclusion, and as the wraparound cover, for The Human Condition:
Photojournalism 97 published by Graphis Press. Some of these images
are shown in a group exhibition at the United Nations headquarters
in New York.
Finlay's clients include TIME, CNN, U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Vanity Fair, Life Magazine, Der Spiegel, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UNICEF, American Photo, Canon USA, Eastman Kodak and Mamiya. He also works alongside leading U.S. companies on their annual corporate reports and campaign advertising, including the entire 2002/2003/2004 (B&W and color) ad campaign for Ocean Pacific Apparel (OP). Finlay has published one book, The Unheard Voice: Portraits of Childhood (Browning/Cohen, 1996). He is currently working on his second book.
