Roger Mayne (British, born 1929)
Roger Mayne was born in Cambridge in 1929. He studied Chemistry at Oxford from 1947-51. A self-taught photographer, he built his reputation between 1956-61 while working in Southam Street in London, taking children in the streets as his main subject. He has worked for The Times Literary Supplement, The Observer and Vogue. His photographs have featured on the front covers of many books. During the 1950s he photographed the artists working in St Ives, Cornwall. He has exhibited and published internationally and believes that 'austerity and tension' bring art to life and draw the viewer's attention.
