Brian Griffin
British photography in the latter half of the twentieth century produced a range of distinctive voices working across portraiture, editorial, and commercial image-making. Brian Griffin was one of those voices — a photographer born in Birmingham in 1948 who worked throughout his career as both a photographer and visual artist in the United Kingdom.
Griffin operated during a period when editorial photography was finding new ambitions, and he brought something to that space that was distinctly his own. As a British photographer working in English, he moved between commercial commissions and fine art practice, and his output spanned the visual concerns of his era without being easily reduced to any single strand of it. The specifics of his projects placed him within a broader culture of UK photographers who were redefining what the medium could look like in print and in galleries alike.
Griffin received the Royal Photographic Society Award, a recognition that acknowledged the body of work he had produced over his career. He died on 29 January 2024 in Rotherhithe, having worked across his lifetime as both a photographer and a visual artist. The Royal Photographic Society honour stands as a concrete marker of the regard in which his peers and the broader photographic community held his work.
