Location
Skylight Studios

Photographer Geoffrey Hiller has been documenting the people of Burma since 1987 and has returned several times since the historic opening in 2011 to capture evidence of change, not only images of rallies for Aung San Suu Kyi, but the anticipation, hope and concerns of a nation forgotten by the world.
Hiller’s work has been published in magazines in the US, Europe and Japan including Newsweek, Mother Jones and The New York Times Magazine. His multimedia projects about Vietnam, Eastern Europe, Ghana, Burma and Brazil have earned recognition from NPR, The Christian Science Monitor and USA Today.
With the release of his book Daybreak in Myanmar, he will discuss his approach to street photography in Asia, emphasizing the importance of taking the time to slow down in our frenzied world of mobile photography.
