Simon Norfolk was born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1963 and educated in England, finishing at Oxford and Bristol Universities with a degree in philosophy and sociology. Norfolk wrote a book called
For Most of It I Have No Words: Genocide, Landscape, Memory it is about the places that have witnessed genocide. Norfolk is similar to Gilbertson as they both favour war themed photography but Norfolk differs in that he is not in the action like Gilbertson, but he focuses on the aftermath of war, or genocide in this case. Norfolk takes images of destroyed structures, live bombs in elementary schools, memorial sites for the lost. Norfolk also extends his contemporary photography into the technologies genre.
