Finlay’s first book, “The Unheard Voice, Portraits of Childhood”, was published in 1996. It is a black and white collection of images of children caught in the midst of conflict. “Testify”, published in 2006, is a body of work which comprises seventeen years of his photojournalism work from around the globe, which won 1st place “Book of the Year” from POYi.
“Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide in Sudan”, was published in July 2007 by powerHouse. Co-produced with Proof and Amnesty International, this book brings to light the history of war by eight world-renowned photographers and writers. Co-founded by Finlay, Proof is a non-profit organization established to create awareness on the issues faced by populations in post-conflict societies and to encourage social change through photography.
In 2007, Finlay premiered “12°N x 23° E, 64°S x 60° E”, an accordion-fold book that features contrasts between photographs taken in South Sudan and Antarctica. The project, which was also produced as a large art installation piece, was designed by Marta Salas-Porras. The book shows cause and effect and allows the viewer to explore and discover their own conclusions on climate change.
