Tony Ray Jones – a very British photographer

The National Media Museum holds the Tony Ray Jones Archive.  Consisting of vintage(negatyw) and modern prints, contact sheets(odbitka), transparencies(klisze), notebooks, book dummies and ephemera(, it offers a uniquely full exploration of this important and influential photographer’s short yet prolific career.  Greg Hobson will talk about the background to Ray Jones’ work and his influences and motivations during a pivotal period in British photographic history.
