About Adam Blenford
As a young boy I filled exercise books with fantastical stories of faraway places. Then one day I started visiting real-life faraway places, taking pictures and writing things down. I’ve never really stopped. Today I’m a journalist, a photographer and a traveller, but in no particular order. I’m interested in people and places, be they at the end of my street or on the other side of the world.
These days I work in London for the BBC, where I write and edit international news online, viewing the world through the slightly distorted prism of the 24-hour news agenda. I’m sad about the inevitable demise of newspapers, and wish, just a little bit, that I could have started my career 10 years earlier – or 10 years later. For a sense of perspective I take pictures in my spare time and blog about photojournalism for the Frontline Club. My photographs are available for editorial use through PA Photos, or as fine art prints at Lenswall.com.
I collect stamps, but only in my passport.
This is my personal blog: all thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own, and do not represent the view of the BBC.
