In the Food & Drink Studio this season, we celebrate ‘Rebels & Misfits’: the risk takers, the trend setters, those that have overcome adversity and broken the mould – both past and present.
Giles Duley is CEO of Legacy of War Foundation, photographer, writer, chef and presenter, born in 1971 in London. His work focuses on the long-term humanitarian impact of conflict.
Starting his career as a music photographer, Duley worked with the likes of Mariah Carey, Oasis and Lenny Kravitz for publications including Q, Vogue, Sunday Times and Elle.
In 2004 Duley changed his focus to documentary work, partnering with well-respected charities such as HI (Humanity and Inclusion), EMERGENCY, Save the Children and UNHCR to highlight lesser-known stories deserving of public attention and action. His work has taken him to Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan, DR Congo, Angola, Bangladesh, Kenya, Ukraine, Jordan, Lebanon, Colombia, Vietnam and Nigeria among others.
In 2011, whilst working in Afghanistan, Duley was severely injured by an IED. As a result of his injuries he is a triple-amputee. Amazingly in 2012 he returned to Afghanistan to continue his work as a photographer.
Over this fascinating dinner, cooked by the One-Armed Chef himself, Giles will explain how food has ended up playing such an important role in his life.
