Colin Jones: The End of Photography

“It was while I was interrogating myself on the meaning of photography as art, especially in terms of photojournalism, that I met Colin Jones,” says Frankie Carradona, a London-based artist and visual storyteller. “Things often happen for a reason.” Born in London in 1936, Colin Jones had an unorthodox trajectory into photography. Coming from a working-class home in the East End and also training with the English National Ballet, Jones went on to become a documentary photographer for The Observer, alongside Magnum greats like Don McCullen and Ian Berry. During his career he also shot iconic portraits of British rock band The Who and musicians Mick Jagger and Pete Townsend.
