Just Finished: Images from Africa by Kristen Ashburn

Big Swing prepared documentary photographer Kristen Ashburn’s images for publication in the most recent issue of Vanity Fair. Africa, a special issue guest-edited by Bono, is on newsstands now.

Kristen’s photography is at once powerful, jarring, subtle, and beautiful. It’s a true privilege for us to work with a photographer creating such important images. Below are a few examples of Kristen’s work, and you can see more of her photographs at her website.
