"Ian Berry was born in Lancashire, England, in 1934. He made his reputation in South Africa, where he worked for the Daily Mail and later for Drum magazine. He was the only photographer to document the massacre at Sharpeville in 1960, and his photographs were used in the trial to prove the victims’ innocence.

Henri Cartier-Bresson invited Berry to join Magnum Photos in 1962, when he was based in Paris. He became a full member of the agency five years later. In 1964, he moved to London to become the first contract photographer for The Observer Magazine. While there, he completed a project in the Whitechapel area, with the first grant for a photographer from the Arts Council, photographing the changing community and his country of origin with fresh eyes after many years abroad. This work became a book titled The English (1978).
