Students impress in photography contest
‘Don’t take boring pictures’ was a self-imposed rule Tony Ray-Jones lived by throughout his all too short career. Documenting ordinary English life, his images were a startling departure from anything else being produced at the time.
This year’s Tony Ray-Jones Photography Competition had over 160 entries on the theme of ‘teenage’, inspired by the work of guest judge, Jon Savage.
