Adrian Evans is the director of Panos Pictures.  His varied early career included work as a bicycle courier, a chicken counter and a graphic designer.  He joined Panos Pictures in 1990 - at the time a small photo agency specialising in environmental issues. After five years overseeing the expansion of the agency he bought a controlling share in the company. Under his direction Panos Pictures has become the pre-eminent agency for ‘concerned photojournalism’, known throughout the industry for its intelligent approach.  The agency has won acclaim for its ground-breaking exhibitions and photography projects, working with a network of photographers from around the world to provide contemporary perspectives on global and social issues.  In 2005, together with Jon Levy of 8 magazine, he opened HOST, London’s only gallery dedicated to documentary photography.
