Choose a picture from our Thurston Hopkins - Renowned British photojournalist Collection for your Wall Art and Photo Gifts

Like many other photographers of the era, Thurston's ambition was to work for the magazine Picture Post and this was at the heart of his career. In 1950, he began to document the everyday life of post-war Britain, capturing the revived spirit, becoming famous for his stories, which were close to the heart of ordinary working people. He told them in shades of black and white, illustrating them with photos readers could relate to. He received two British Press Pictures of the Year awards for his photojournalism.

This is a collection of Thurston's Iconic images capturing the lives and times of people and events. The hallmarks of Hopkins's style as a photographer mirrored those of the news magazine: a strong story, told in “as many shades of black and white as possible”.

You can create you own perfect wall art, so why not take a peak at the possibilities with these iconic images capturing the life and times of people
