Sean Foley

Sean Foley is an Irish ethnographer specialising in visual anthropology. He works as a researcher on art projects. Foley has made ethnographic films on mortuary workers in India, tourism in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and cultural ecology in the south of Greece. He is best known for his research work on Afghan Box Camera photography.

Kafkanistan

Foley worked alongs side Austrian artist Lukas Birk on a film on tourism to Afghanistan. The research was turned into a book and published in 2012.[1]

Afghan Box Camera Project

Foley and Birk investigated in the history of the last remaining Box Camera photographers practising in Afghanistan and Peshawar, Pakistan. The research resulted in an online archive,[2] the book Afghan Box Camera (Dewi Lewis, UK, 2013)[3] and the book Photo Peshawar (Mapin, India, 2017)[4]. They coined the terms Afghan Box Camera and Kamra-e-Faoree, two descriptions for Box Camera photography that have become common terms in the photography world.[5] [6][7]. They published open-source films and a ‘how to build an Afghan Box Camera’ manual. [8][9][10]
