After four years with the then broadsheet Daily Express, the only newspaper
at that time to give space and importance to photographs, Bryan Wharton
joined the Sunday Times at the beginning of 1964. The Sunday Times, under
the new ownership of Roy Thomson ( later Lord Thomson), was shedding it's
sedate image, and was seeking news trained photographers to join it`s young
team of reporters. This proved to be a fortunate move, for The Sunday Times
became the most exciting newspaper, in a most remarkably eventful period.
"It was a privelige to work with the highest level of talent especially
under the Editorship of Harry Evans" During the next 19 years Wharton travelled
to a many parts of the World, and most of Britain and Ireland. He photographed
everything from Ballet through to War, met Scoundrels through to Saints.
His work was published in all the major magazines, Life, Paris Match, Stern,
etc. In 1992, having previously taken part in many exhibitions, he was persuaded
by colleagues, and a generous sponsor, to attempt a one-man show in London.
It proved to be a success, and thereafter was shown in Dublin at the Writers
Museum. Recently Wharton was approached by the National Portrait Gallery in London who have since purchased sixteen of his pictures for their collection. The photographs are handmade and finished to archival standards by the photographer. ©Copyright reserved. Not to be reproduced without permission |
