BANGKOK 101, MARCH 2020
A two-page interview with legendary Bangkok journalist Joe Cummings in the March 2020 issue of popular expat magazine Bangkok 101, focusing on my Faces of Khlongtoey project. “Many photographers have covered the colourful neighbourhood before” says Joe, “but Russell’s scenes and portraits bring out a character and soul that other shooters have, at least in my opinion, rarely achieved.”

SOUTHEAST ASIA GLOBE, JANUARY 2020
