London-born Bert Hardy (1913-1995, UK) was an influential English press and documentary photographer known for his work for Picture Post magazine. Born into a working-class family in Blackfriars, Hardy was self-taught and worked as both a combat and an advertising photographer.

Nice exhibition at The Photographers' Gallery on Bert Hardy: Photojournalism in War and Peace. Some of these are familiar images to me but I’ve never seen as full a retrospective of his work as this before.

[The Photographers' Gallery @TPGallery]
