Photo by Brian Griffin
“‘Brian Griffin has had a profound effect on photography in the last 30 years… he creates works of art that leave the viewer mesmerised’ (British Journal of Photography).
His portraits are renowned: ‘politicians, designers, singers… all undergo a magical metamorphosis in front of Brian Griffin’s camera’ (The Sunday Times). Portraiture is an important aspect of Griffin’s work, and his diverse career has encompassed both commercial and fine art photography, film, audio-visual performance, fashion photography and books.
Born in Birmingham in 1948, Griffin studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic’s School of Photography, where he was first able to encounter a myriad of artistic movements in the college library – from the Renaissance to Symbolism, Expressionism and Surrealism. His influences have emerged from film or painting, with the lighting in German Expressionist cinema and film noir a major inspiration.”
