The Douglas Brothers is the photographic imprint of Andrew Douglas (10 August 1952) and Stuart Douglas (6 February 1962), British photographer/director siblings. ==Early life and education== The Douglas Brothers grew up in Southend, Essex, UK. Andrew Douglas studied Fine Art at Cardiff and Sunderland Polytechnic Colleges. Their older sibling, Graeme Douglas, was guitarist/songwriter with new wave rock band Eddie And The Hot Rods. Andrew designed an album cover for the Hot Rods, and this led to photographing album covers for the groups The Jam and The Cure.〔Browne, Peter, 'Double Exposure', June 1990〕 In 1975, Andrew moved to London and began working as assistant to John Swannell and Lord Snowdon. In 1989, Andrew was joined by younger brother, Stuart, a graduate of Barking College of Art. The pair began working as a collaborative duo under the solitary photographic imprint The Douglas Brothers.〔 Although they photographed a wide variety of subjects, the Douglas Brothers were known for their overtly moody and atmospheric portraiture. Technically, they employed mainly older photographic processes,〔The Douglas Brothers — Collective, Iniva, 1995 http://www.iniva.org/library/archive/people/d/douglas_brothers〕〔The Photographers Gallery, Exhibition Text, February 1994〕 and gained recognition for their sepia litho portraiture of people like Daniel Day-Lewis, Susan Sontag, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Salman Rushdie, Steven Soderbergh, Paul Auster, John Le Carré, Anish Kapoor, Kazuo Ishiguro and Jeanette Winterson. The Douglas Brothers photographic output was prolific, and their portfolio grew to incorporate abstract imagery, collage, nudes and reportage. Which brother had actually clicked the shutter was not disclosed. 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「The Douglas Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
