Biography
Colin Jones (8 August 1936 – 22 September 2021) was an English ballet dancer-turned-photographer and prolific photojournalist of post-war Britain.
Jones documented facets of social history as diverse as the vanishing industrial working lives of the North East coalfields (Grafters), delinquent Afro-Caribbean youth in London (The Black House), hedonistic 1960s 'Swinging London' with pictures of The Who early in their career, the 1963 race riots in Alabama, Soviet Leningrad, and remnants of a rural Britain now lost to history.
