Support for "Beyond the Fall" has been provided by TIME Magazine, Ilford Imaging, Leica Cameras, Network Photographers, Grazia Neri, Colorspan Europe.
The exhibitions were printed by Clayton Burkhart on a Colorspan Giclee Printmaker and an Ilford Novajet with Ilford archival B&W inks.
I would also like to thank Yuri Avvakumov for his design, and curatorial work on the exhibition in London (in co-ordination with Joanne Bernstein of the Royal Festival Hall), Milan, Berlin, and Moscow.
A sincere thanks to Anatoly Ivanov and Christine Auger from SYLIPSI for the creative and often tedious work in designing this site.
This project is the result of many dedicated people. I would like to thank just a few.
The majority of images for this project were produced while I was on assignment for TIME magazine. Michele Stephenson, TIME magazine Director of Photography and Robert Stevens', TIME magazine World Editor both gave their unwavering support to this project, financially and personally, over a ten-year period.
I would also like to thank TIME magazine Editorial Director Henry Muller and Chris Redman, Chief Editor of TIME magazine "Atlantic".
Additional support came from Kathy Ryan, the Director of Photography at the New York Times Magazine.
Nearly every image reproduced in this book is a product of both myself and those who guided and translated for me. Each of these people kept me out of harms way and allowed me to make these images in their shadow. In many ways, this book is their collective interpretation of events which I have assembled into one. I am eternally grateful to them for their friendship and insight.
