Scottswood Road area, Newcastle, 1963

 

Jones never retired

but stayed busy in his darkroom at home in Barnes, west London,

making museum-quality prints of photographs from his archive,

some of which he sold to collectors

The compassionate vision of photojournalist Colin Jones

– in pictures

The Royal Ballet dancer Colin Jones became

one of the most celebrated photojournalists of postwar Britain,

covering subjects as diverse

as working life in the industrial north-east,

the English National Ballet,

the Alabama race riots

and African-Caribbean youth in 1970s London with an empathetic eye.

Jones also documented arts and youth culture

with his iconic portraits of the Who, Julie Christie, Tom Waits

and mods and rockers in Brighton in 1964
