Our Notes
This image was commissioned by the London Times Saturday Magazine. Angerson was tasked to create a portrait of the renowned artist Grayson Perry. He poses with his cherished 60-year-old childhood teddy bear called ‘Alan Measles’. It was named after his best friend Alan who was a neighbour and the "Measles" part came from Alan's comforting presence when Perry, aged three, was ill in bed with measles. The bear, worn and threadbare from years of love, serves as a poignant symbol of Perry's enduring creativity and the childlike wonder that fuels his artistic genius

John started his career in the early 1990s with attention to the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift and develop.
He now splits his time between shooting personal projects, teaching at various Universities and shooting features and portraiture for a range of magazines, charities, and design agencies. We love his sharp, focused photographs that seemingly capture a split-second moment in time. John’s monograph, Love, Power, Sacrifice (published by Dewi Lewis, Manchester), documented the Jesus Army over twenty years and peers into a microcosm of a fanatical religion. His most recent book; English Journey (published by B&W studio, Leeds) was a 4-year photographic travelogue across England in the footsteps of Bradford author J.B.Priestley. The work was shown in exhibitions across the UK and Europe and the book has sold across three continents since its publication. We’ve been working with John Angerson since 2021.
We love how John's sharp, focused photographs seemingly capture a split-second moment in time. Each of his photographs are a snapshot of an unexplained and often bizarre scene, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks and build their own narrative. From his disparate landscapes to his portraits of famous figures, John leaves the audience wanting more information, whether that be of where the photography was taken or what's happening behind the camera.
