Duley is an award winning documentary and portrait photographer. Born in London in 1971, his work focuses on humanitarian projects, working with well-respected charities such as Doctors Without Borders, EMERGENCY, ICRC and UNHCR to highlight lesser-known stories deserving of public attention and action. Although documenting challenging, and at times, horrific situations, Giles captures the strength of those who fight adversity rather than succumb. His photographs draw the viewer to the subject, creating intimacy and empathy for lives differing from ours only in circumstance.

His work has taken him to South Sudan, DR Congo Angola, Bangladesh, Kenya, Ukraine, Jordan and Nigeria among others.

In 2011, Duley lost both legs and an arm after stepping on an IED in Afghanistan whilst photographing those caught up in the conflict. He was told he’d probably never walk again. However, characteristically stubborn, Duley told his doctors “I’m still a photographer”, and returned to work in Afghanistan less than 18 months later.

His work has been exhibited and published world wide in many respected publications including Vogue, GQ, Esquire, Sunday Telegraph, Observer and the Sunday Times.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
