Tim Page (1944-2022) was a photojournalist and counter-culture figure who achieved lasting fame for his daring exploits during the Vietnam war and his ‘gonzo’ reputation covering the psychedelic and music scenes of the 1960s and 70s, chiefly in America.
It is hard to think of another more wide-ranging, eclectic and historically important photo collection by a single photographer than Tim Page’s, spanning nearly 60 years of war and peace between roughly 1962 - 2022. As we move into an era of ‘post-truth’ and ‘deep fakes’, historical archives like Tim Page’s give us an anchor to verifiable truth and real social history with images we can trust, images that will always move us.
Page was more than just the most famous rock’n’roll war photographer in history - he hoped that by bearing witness to the savagery and injustice of war his would be a voice of peace. His lasting motto remains “the only good war photograph is an anti-war photograph”.
WARNING: Some images may depict sensitive subject/s relating to death, war and suffering that may offend some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.
