Colin Jones is a famous English photographer, born in 1936, best known for the photographs he took of the band 'The Who' back in the 1960's. He joined them on several tours, so therefore he had the chance to get to know them very well and photograph them not only in public but in their private domains as well. His range of musician portraits and documentary images are now high in demand and are often auctioned.

Jones also studied and is still very passionate about ballet. He was offered a scholarship and ended up studying the subject at the Royal Ballet School in London. He has taken several images of people dancing and performing, that in my opinion, are extremely vibrant, full of energy and passion. In addition to that he also likes to take pictures at the rehearsals and backstage photos of the dancers preparing for the show.
He has published a few critically acclaimed books of his artwork, and has had solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C and at the Photographers' Gallery in London, as well as in many other international galleries.
