Ray-Jones’s near-anthropological documents of English life continue to inspire street photography

Tony Ray-Jones

In 2004 the world caught up with Tony Ray-Jones. That year the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford hosted an exhibition, which drew from their archive of 700 of Ray-Jones’s prints. Finally, people could see the undeniable influence of a photographer that very few knew had even existed. In just one decade’s worth of work, Ray-Jones helped shape the future of countless British photographers who appeared in the years following his death in 1972. He has been cited by numerous photographers, including Martin Parr, a figure who owes much to Ray-Jones’s keen eye for oddity.

Smartphone makers take the long view

It's also been a busy year for smartphone makers, particularly in the hyper-competitive Android market. Beyond Al features, slimmer dimensions and beefed-up battery life, some cool technology came to the fore, exemplified by the Oppo Find X9 Pro. As well as being able to capture still photos at 50MP by default on all three rear cameras, a new Hasselblad Hi Res mode enables you to shoot 200MP still images. While this feature might seem overkill for a comparatively small phone sensor, it gives lots of cropping flexibility.
