Brian Griffin (b.1948) is one of the UK’s most influential and creative portrait photographers. Famous for his surreal depictions of workers, celebrities, and iconic 1980’s music album covers. Odd is selected from Griffin’s entire photographic archive from his remarkable artistic output from the past four decades. Acknowledged for the extraordinary composition and lighting of his portraits, Griffin’s distinctive style was developed during his early career as a staff photographer at Management Today. Joining the magazine in 1972, Griffin’s unique approach, with his witty and surreal touches, changed the face of corporate portraiture forever. During the 1980’s Griffin produced numerous album covers for artists such as Kate Bush, Iggy Pop,Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultravox, Siouxsie Sioux, Billy Idol, Joe Jackson and Depeche Mode. The stunning image which graced Depeche Mode’s ‘A Broken Frame’ album was later chosen as the cover of LIFE magazine’s ‘The World’s Greatest Photographs 1980 -1990’.
