John Blakemore (b. 1936 and d. 2025) is one of the most revered and influential figures in British photography. Self-taught and starting his career under the Black Star agency, he developed his personal work to become one of the UK’s leading landscape and still life photographers. His work has been exhibited worldwide and he is regarded as one of the finest master printers in the country.

Blakemore has been the recipient of several Arts Council awards, a British Council Traveling Exhibition, and in 1992 he won the coveted Fox Talbot Award for Photography. He was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 1998 and became Emeritus Professor of Photography at the University of Derby where he taught from 1970 to 2001. He has published five monographs and his work has been acquired by private and public collections worldwide, including a significant archive at the Library of Birmingham. A sixth monograph of a retrospective of his work was recently published, and is entitled, JOHN BLAKEMORE: PHOTOGRAPHS 1955-2010.
