Children in the streets off Wapping High Street, London, 1962, printed later.

Born in 1936, Colin Jones became interested in photography after a lively and demanding career as a dancer with the Royal Ballet's Touring Company. In 1960 he bought his first serious camera, at the time of the Sharpeville Massacre which took place when he was touring in South Africa. He was influenced early on by the Hungarian photographer Michael Peto as well as by Joseph Herman, a painter of Welsh miners. Jones went on to work with the Observer and the Sunday Times and more recently began working in the world of advertising.
