Injecting Advice

We Need More Photographs

Written by Nigel Brunsdon on . Posted in .

This presentation was delivered to the DDN Conference in 2016, the conference topic was “Get the picture” and they had asked me to present on using photography. This doesn’t contain any drug information or advice on harm reduction, it does however have basic photography advice and some good portraits from the harm reduction movement.
