The Guardian
Sefton Samuels is one of Manchester’s leading photographers.
His career spans more than four decades - with nearly a hundred images held in the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria & Albert Museum. Sefton has had solo exhibitions at the Barbican Centre and Proud Gallery in central London.
