Humphrey Spender is the world-renown English photographer. A selection of portraits displaying his pioneering photojournalistic style are currently on show at London's National Portrait Gallery. During his most prodigious period, between 1932 and 1942, Spender produced a valuable body of work that significantly contributed to the development of British documentary photography.
