Carolyn Djanogly is a London-based portrait photographer.
A former television documentary director with the BBC and Granada, she moved into photography with the publication of her first book, Centurions (Andre Deutsch) in 1999.
Centurions was a tribute to 100 people who had significantly influenced the social, political and cultural texture of 20th Century Britain, and subjects included David Bowie, Margaret Thatcher, David Bailey, David Hockney, Harold Pinter, Spike Milligan, Ken Loach, Norman Foster, Yehudi Menuhin, Cliff Richard, Tom Stoppard, Richard Attenborough and David Frost.
Centurions provided a portfolio that enabled Carolyn to start working as an editorial portrait photographer for a range of international publications, and in the following decade her work appeared in Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times Magazine, Country Life, The Times, The Observer, YOU Magazine, Business Week, Newsweek, Forbes, The Smithsonian Magazine, Stern, Der Spiegel, Focus and Bunte.
Carolyn’s subjects range from Hollywood 'A' listers such as Kate Winslet, Judi Dench, Helena Bonham Carter and Greta Scacchi, to politicians such as John Major, Tony Benn and Roy Jenkins, musicians Amy Winehouse, Lenny Kravitz, Sade, Bob Geldof and Ravi Shankar, sporting legends George Best, Stanley Matthews, Steve Redgrave and Lester Piggott, corporate high-flyers George Soros, Stanley Fink and Terence Conran and designers Vivienne Westwood, Mary Quant and Katherine Hamnett.
Twenty-two of the portraits from Centurions are lodged in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, and Carolyn's archive is syndicated by Camera Press.
She is currently working on her second book.
