Description: Widely published in the UK, Europe and the USA, Bleasdale has been covering the brutal exploitation of The Democratic Republic of Congo and its natural resources through his revealing and timely narrative photography for nearly a decade. Recent assignments have taken him to Somalia, Venezuela, and Azerbaijan for a series of projects on oil production and its effects on local populations. The Los Angeles Times writes “Beautifully composed, the portraits nonetheless ache with the message of hardship and deprivation.”
