In 1981, Paul Graham completed his first acclaimed work, photographing life along England’s primary arterial road in a series in color entitled A1: The Great North Road. His use of color in the late 1970s and early 1980s was transformative, at a time when British photography was dominated by black-and-white social documentary. Since then, unwilling to repeat the same works, he has made images in Northern Ireland with Troubled Land; Japan with Empty Heaven; Western Europe in New Europe; and, for the past 18 years, the United States with A Shimmer of Possibility. He has been the subject of more than 80 exhibitions worldwide, including a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2012 Hasselblad Foundation International Award.
