British photographer Roger Mayne was born in Cambridge and studied Chemistry at Balliol College, Oxford.  It was here that he became interested in photographic processing and took his first pictures.  Mentored by photographer Hugo van Wadenoyen, Mayne pursued a career as a photographer after graduating in 1951.  His photographs of life on Southam Street in Notting Dale made him a key figure in British photography’s break from pictorialism.  You can learn more about his life and his work by visiting Rogermayne.com.
