Diamonds
Christine Gordon
Takes you on a journey into the new world of diamonds, exploring the diamond pipeline through a visual and textual record of the industry as it enters the 21st century.
Donald Barry Woodrow, born in New York in 1946, has been photographing diamonds for thirty-five years on five continents. Working for prominent diamond mining, cutting and jewellery companies, Woodrow is considered to be the world's leading diamond photographer. His images appear in international trade and fashion magazines. Woodrow seeks to show the mystery at the heart of the stone as a marvel of nature. As he says, 'One can look at a diamond and just see a stone, or, one can realise that this stone has a long history and many hidden mysteries. The mind of the photographer becomes the eye. This way the image produced becomes richer and more beautiful. 'Antwerp-based photographer Laurent Boeki has been photographing diamonds and jewellery for over twenty years. His fascination for the industry originated in his family's diamond trading history. Boeki's love for travelling, his ability to control both light and subject, and his passion for computers gives him a unique niche in this market, ranging from solid rock to beautiful digital diamond imaging.
