James Hyman Photography specialises in vintage and contemporary photography with a focus on British social photography. In addition to British and International photographs from inventory, James Hyman represents a select group of photographers whose conceptual documentary practise emerged in the Thatcher years as forms of subjective engagement with the winners and losers in Thatcher’s transformation of British society.
As well as staging exhibitions, James Hyman Photography also publishes catalogues and participates in art fairs including AIPAD (New York) and Paris Photo (Paris).
