Ian Berry was born in Lancashire, England. He made his reputation in South Africa, where he worked for the Daily Mail and later for Drum magazine. He was the only photographer to document the massacre at Sharpeville in 1960, and his photographs were used in the trial to prove the victims’ innocence.
Henri Cartier-Bresson invited Ian Berry to join Magnum in 1962 when he was based in Paris. He moved to London in 1964 to become the first contract photographer for the Observer Magazine. Since then assignments have taken him around the world: he has documented Russia’s invasion of Czechoslovakia; conflicts in Israel, Ireland, Vietnam, and the Congo; famine in Ethiopia; apartheid in South Africa. The major body of work produced in South Africa is represented in two of his books: Black and Whites: L’Afrique du Sud (with a foreword by the then-French president François Mitterrand), and Living Apart (1996). During the last year, projects have included child slavery in Ghana and the Spanish fishing industry.
Important editorial assignments have included work for National Geographic, Fortune, Stern, Geo, national Sunday magazines, Esquire, Paris-Match, and LIFE. Ian Berry has also reported on the political and social transformations in China and the former USSR.

Photographer, documentarian, and digital storyteller Daniel Meadows (b. 1952) has spent a lifetime recording British society, challenging the status quo by working in a collaborative way to capture extraordinary aspects of ordinary life through pictures, audio recordings, and short movies.
He is best known for his 1973-74 journey around England in the Free Photographic Omnibus when he traveled 10,000 miles in a converted double-decker and made 958 portraits in "free studio" sessions on the streets of 22 different British towns and cities. This is a project he revisited in the 1990s, photographing again some of the subjects of those portraits for his widely published series National Portraits: Now & Then.
His pioneering community storytelling project BBC Capture Wales (2001-08) encouraged many hundreds of people across Wales to embrace the arrival of the digital age in pop-up workshops by making their own two minutes of TV, framing their memories and pictures into digital stories, "multimedia sonnets from the people". Capture Wales won a BAFTA Cymru in 2002.
Meadows taught the documentary photography course with David Hurn in Newport(1983-94); also photojournalism (1994-2001) and digital storytelling (2000-2012) at Cardiff School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies where he also completed his PhD (2005). In the 1990s he taught photojournalism workshops in the emerging democracies of eastern Europe, also in India and Bangladesh. After 2000 he traveled repeatedly to Australia and the USA lecturing about his pioneering work in participatory media.

Denis Thorpe joined his local newspaper with the ambition of becoming a reporter. Circumstances dictated that he was assigned to the photography department and immediately became enamoured with that medium’s creative possibilities. For Denis, photography became his passport to another world.
After National Service with the Royal Air Force, he pursued photojournalism, inspired by Picture Post and the early Magnum photographers. Thorpe embarked on a journey of freelancing through London and then the provinces working for morning and evening papers, eventually arriving at the Daily Mail in Manchester.
Denis became a Guardian staff photographer in the 1970s covering assignments across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, China, India, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Japan during a twenty-three-year career with the paper. Denis has many press awards for his picture essays and news photography including the 1979 World Press Photo Foundation Gold Medal and Ilford Photographer of the Year in 1988.
Denis has produced several books and exhibitions of his work and is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, a Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photography, and an Honorary Master of Arts degree from the University of Manchester. This book shows his beginnings, personal projects, and work from around the British Isles and clearly demonstrates why Denis Thorpe is considered by his peers as one of the greats of twentieth-century British photojournalism.

David Hoffman has worked as an independent photojournalist since the 1970s. It didn’t take long for him to discover that documenting the increasingly overt control of the state over our lives was what motivated him. He soon decided to run his own photo library, giving him the freedom to choose his own subject matter. His work sheds what some might see as an unforgiving light across racial and social conflict, policing, drug use, poverty, and social exclusion.
Protest, and the violence that sometimes accompanies it, is a thread that has run throughout his career, and at one point gained him a reputation as ‘the riot photographer’s riot photographer'. Determination and a willingness to look uncomfortable realities in the eye underpin all of his work, from the metamorphosis of London’s East End to the documenting of homelessness, protest, and oppressive policing. Some find the pictures raw and uncomfortable, but his intention is to document dispassionately and let the images stand as social challenge. By engaging with the image, we are forced to recognise the world as others live it and to consider our own position.
Documenting the reality of injustice, frequent state oppression and the all too often tragic consequences, his work has supported legal challenges, brought racist perpetrators to justice, and most importantly, reached wide audiences through mass media publication for more than 40 years.

Photographer John Angerson talks about his life and his connection with the world as a photographer.
John Angerson (b.1969 Bristol, England) started his career in the early 1990s, covering the fall of the Berlin Wall and the changing geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe. Since then, his work has continued to explore the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift, and develop. His projects have garnered critical acclaim and have been exhibited at major art institutions in the UK and overseas. His monograph - Love, Power, Sacrifice (published by Dewi Lewis, Manchester) documented the Jesus Army over twenty years and peers into a microcosm of a fanatical religion. His most recent book; English Journey (published by B&W studio, Leeds) was a 4-year photographic travelogue across England in the footsteps of Bradford author J.B.Priestley. The work presents a purposefully non-nostalgic, contemporary view of England. It casts the lens on the globalized economic framework at call centres, transnational hotel chains, and the co-dependency of international outsourcing. The work was shown in exhibitions across the UK and Europe and the book has sold across three continents since its publication. He now splits his time between shooting personal projects, teaching at various Universities, and shooting features and portraiture for a range of magazines, charities, and design agencies.
