Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen (b.27 March 1948) is a Finnish photographer who has worked in Britain since the 1960s.〔Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen (ed. Andrew Pulver), "(Photographer Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen's best shot )", ''The Guardian,'' 12 August 2009. Accessed 19 February 2010.〕 ==Life and work== Born in Myllykoski, municipality of Sippola (from 1975 part of the town of Anjalankoski, from 2009 part of the town of Kouvola), Finland in 1948, Konttinen studied photography in London in the 1960s, and cofounded the Amber collective, which moved to Newcastle in 1969.〔http://www.amber-online.com/people/32〕 From 1969 Konttinen lived in Byker, and for seven years photographed and interviewed the residents of this area of terraced houses until her own house was demolished.〔("Byker in Black and White," ''The New York Times'', February 7, 2013 )〕 She continued to work there for some time afterwards. This resulted in the book ''Byker,''〔"(Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen )", Amber Online. Accessed 19 February 2010.〕 which in David Alan Mellor's words "bore witness to her intimate embeddedness in the locality".〔David Alan Mellor, ''No Such Thing as Society: Photography in Britain 1967–1987: From the British Council and the Arts Council Collection'' (London: Hayward Publishing, 2007; ISBN 978-1-85332-265-5), p.84.〕 In 1980 she became the first photographer since the Cultural Revolution to have her work exhibited by the British Council in China.〔 Konttinen's next project was a study of girls attending dance schools in North Shields, their mothers, and the schools. The book ''Step by Step'' came from this.〔 The book influenced ''Billy Elliot''." Three years of photographing the beach between Seaham and Hartlepool resulted in the series "Coal Coast".〔Richard Moss, "(Coal Coast: Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen Photos at the Baltic )", culture24.org.uk. Accessed 20 February 2010.〕 Konttinen later returned to Byker and photographed its new residents in color.〔("Bringing Color to Newcastle," ''The New York Times'', February 8, 2013 )〕 She is represented by L. Parker Stephenson Photographs.〔 ()〕 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「Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
