In the Picture: Haiti earthquake with David Levene, Roger Tooth and Inigo Gilmore

David Levene spoke at the Frontline Club on Friday to Roger Tooth, head of photography for the Guardian, about videoing and photographing the earthquake in Haiti. We were joined live from Port-au-Prince by Inigo Gilmore, who reported in the aftermath of the earthquake for Channel 4.

Via Skype, Inigo Gilmore answered questions on what the situation down on the ground is like 3 months on from the earthquake. Roger and David talked openly about the ethics of disaster photography and the future of the photography business.

Upon his return from Haiti, David Levene put together an exhibition and print sale of his work from both before and after the earthquake in aid of the Disasters Emergency Committee's Haiti Earthquake Appeal.
