Afua Hirsch converses with photographer, entrepreneur and social activist Misan Harriman. He is one of the most widely-shared photographers of the Black Lives Matter movement, and also the first Black person in the 104 year history of British Vogue to shoot the cover of its September issue.

Harriman has risen to prominence due to his photojournalism around Black culture and protest. He has also documented the journey of Meghan and Harry as one of the few photographers they trust. In July 2021 he commenced his appointment as Chair of the Southbank Centre, London.

His strong reportage style and unique eye for narrative has captured the attention of editors and celebrities around the world. From documenting historic moments in history to photographing high profile celebrities, including Angelia Jolie, Jay-Z, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Giorgio Armani, Rhianna, Cate Blanchett and Olivia Colman, Harriman is a photographer of extraordinary range.

His commissions include royal, private and high profile portraiture as well as reportage documenting and covering behind the scenes at major awards, music festivals and film sets. His striking images have featured in Vanity Fair, Vogue UK, Harpers Bazaar, People Magazine and The Telegraph among others.
