Lewis Bush

Lewis Bush is a photographer and researcher. 

Bush’s long-term, research intensive photography projects examine different forms of contemporary power, from opaque technological systems to offshore financial structures. Collectively these projects form a growing archive of power which seeks to address the invisibility of the powerful in the documentary record. His books and prints are held widely in public and private collections worldwide, including in major museums, national libraries, and research institutions.

He is also senior lecturer in documentary photography at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. He has also been a visiting speaker at numerous other institutions including the Universities of South Wales, Westminster, and Falmouth (UK), the Royal Academy of Arts (Netherlands), ENS Louis-Lumiere (France), Sint Lucas School of Arts Antwerpen (Belgium), and ECAL (Switzerland).

He is currently a PhD candidate at the London School of Economics, in the Department of Media and Communications, where he is researching photojournalistic trust, and the way it is shaped by infrastructures, institutions, technologies and other factors.
