Jack Latham

Biography:

British documentary photographer Jack Latham was born in 1989. His books include Sugar Paper Theories (2016), which is about the Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case in Iceland—a case of memory distrust syndrome in which six people confessed to murders they did not commit—and A Pink Flamingo (2015), which was written during a period of financial hardship in the United States along the Oregon Trail.

The creation of Sugar Paper Theories, which had a solo exhibition at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography in Iceland, was made possible by Latham’s 2015 Bar-Tur Photobook Award. His series Parliament of Owls awarded him the 2019 British Journal of Photography International Photography Award.
