Jo Metson Scott

Jo Metson Scott is a British portrait and documentary photographer, based in London. Her book, The Grey Line, is about British and American soldiers who dissented to the Iraq War.

Life and work Metson Scott was born in Exeter. She has also lived in West Bridgford, Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire. After University she moved to London and assisted various photographers.

Over the course of two years she photographed a member of Great Britain's gymnastic squad, preparing for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London (at which time he was 12 years old). This work was exhibited at B Store in London in 2012.

Her book The Grey Line, published 10 years after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, is "a reflection on the war told from the perspective of Britain and American soldiers who have spoken out against the invasion" and "also a reflection of the fallout of such a stance." The book, five years in the making, contains images of veterans and "their story presented through their own handwritten testimonies."
