DAVID GWINNUTT bio

David Gwinnutt (born 1961) was a regular at Blitz and an integral part of the New Romantic and London club scene during the 80's. He photographed most of the principle characters of these times, taking candid pictures in black & white, often in poor light without flash, the results have a grainy, romantic feel and give us a true close up of the subject. London's National Portrait Gallery recently purchased some of Gwinnutt's pictures from this period. Terence Pepper, Curator of Photography at The NPG has said, ''.....anti-glamorous and un-staged they reveal an intimacy with his sitters allowing the viewer to feel they are seeing the 'real' person in the picture. Atmospheric and evocative, Gwinnutt's high-contrast black & white photographs evoke the era in which they were taken''.
