Paul Graham (1956) – the first documentary photographer to use colour film, which was reserved for commercial photographs in Great Britain. In 1981-1982 he photographed a main freeway in Northern England (A1 – The Great North Road, 1993). He simultaneously tried to problematise complicated issues through photography – the album New Europe (1992), whose photographs were taken from 1988-1993, deals with the issue of the homogenisation of European culture in the late capitalist period.
