Stephen Wright Photography

Stephen Wright Photography best look at www.smithsphotos.com for details of my photos of The Smiths and other iconic musicians. These are available as photographs signed by me

I've really enjoyed being a freelance photographer for over 20 years- making me flexible, able to adapt to any situation and capture memorable images spontaneously. Early work entailed producing stage and classic music images - an early and well- known image of The Smiths is in the National Portrait Gallery collection and the Manchester Art Gallery. My wedding coverage captures the elegance and fu

n of the day with a minimum of intrusion. I capture the detail, the action, and gentle, natural photos of the couple, family and guests - the mix is of reportage images and classics. I shoot portraits, PR events and conferences with great attention to detail and speed. I approach each assignment with enthusiasm and professionalism and my images have been widely published. A little about me - I have been happily married for 15 years to a lovely French lady and have a son of 10. I love art galleries, French food and travel. Like most boys - even big ones - I enjoy gadgets and cars!

Forty years ago this December the famous photograph of The Smiths outside the Salford Lads Club was taken by Stephen Wright on a cold, dark, winter day – somehow it has a darkness that set the right mood.

Later on the photograph has been accepted as part of the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, the Manchester Art Gallery and the Salford Art Gallery. All rather funny when the original film was processed in a bedroom / darkroom, with the chemicals kept in old drinks bottles!
