Graham Scott Finlayson (1932–1999)〔(Photographs by Graham Finlayson ), Guardian News & Media Archive. Accessed 16 February 2013.〕 was a British photojournalist who first worked for the ''Daily Mail'' and the ''Guardian'', and later freelanced. ==Life and career== Finlayson started work at the ''Southampton Echo'', but after national service he worked in Manchester, first for the ''Daily Mail'' and from 1959 for the ''Guardian.''〔Robert Smithies, "(Through a lens lightly )" (obituary), ''The Guardian,'' 27 February 1999. Accessed 16 February 2013.〕〔"(Exhibitions: Graham Finlayson: early photographs )", ''The Guardian'' Newsroom, (2005 ). Accessed 16 February 2013.〕 Finlayson was generous in photographing the Hallé Orchestra.〔 Finlayson was able to photograph L. S. Lowry, usually uncooperative with the press, and had a particularly successful working relationship with the writer Arthur Hopcraft.〔Conrad Astley, "(The big picture: Graham Finlayson )", ''The Manchester Evening News,'' 29 August 2007. Accessed 16 February 2013.〕 The ''Guardian'' did not restrict Finlayson to the Manchester area, instead sending him on assignments to such places as Ireland, Spain, Cyprus, Borneo, Nigeria and Indonesia.〔〔"(Graham Finlayson )", ''The Guardian'', GNM Archive (n.d.). Accessed 16 February 2013.〕 In 1965 Finlayson left the ''Guardian'' and Manchester to freelance, basing himself in Hampshire. The timing was good, as the colour supplements of Britain's Sunday newspapers were starting up. He did well among them, and later successfully covered sports (in which he was not interested) for ''Sports Illustrated.''〔〔(Search results for Finlayson ), ''Sports Illustrated'' archive. Accessed 17 February 2013.〕 He also covered architecture, industry, fashion, and travel.〔"(Press release: Graham Finlayson: Early photographs )", ''The Guardian'' Newsroom, 8 February 2005. Accessed 16 February 2013.〕 Toward the end of a warm obituary for Finlayson, Bob Smithies wrote that he "suffered from melancholia () he was never sure of his worth, satisfied with his endeavours or convinced of his value to those who valued him"; after heart trouble in the early 1990s he gave up photography and moved with his wife to France. He died of cancer in 1999.〔 Even while Finlayson was still working as a photographer, his earlier work had become little remembered. Martin Harrison credits a 1983 exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery, ''British Photography 1955–65'' (curated by Sue Davies), with saving his work (as well as that of John Bulmer and others) from obscurity;〔Martin Harrison, preface to ''Young Meteors: British Photojournalism, 1957–1965'' (London: Cape, 1998; ISBN 0-224-05129-6).〕 much later, Harrison would go on to show it in a 1998 exhibition titled ''The Young Meteors.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graham Finlayson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
