Edinburgh book Festival 2010

-->

I had a bonny time at Edinburgh festival where character, poetry, art and music flourish for a few sunny weeks - actually it was freezing also in the press pod! I am incredibly proud of my book festival shoots - and such diverse, colourful and memorable figures from the worlds of Irish poetry, political thought, children's authors, dramatic thrillers, autobiographies and more - including Irish poet Seamus Heaney. www.pkimage.co.uk. This is the first serious portraits shots I've taken, and there were many famous faces at the festival. Posted here are 3 of the new authors -

Irene Sabatini from Zimbabwe and her book The Boy next Door which looks at the journey from independence to the chaos of today. Pumla Dineo Gqola from South Africa and her book What is slavery to me? And Paolo Giordano who is an Italian writer who won Italy's premier literary award, the Premio Strega, with his first novel The Solitude of Prime Numbers. He is also a professional Physicist.
