"Portrait making is an exchange it is sharing moments with people and passing them on."

Flowers is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of one of Britain’s most prominent contemporary photographers, Steve Pyke.

Steve Pyke’s portraits are diverse; he photographs people from very disparate worlds, from the homeless to the power brokers and thinkers. Rich in content, he approaches his subjects with the intent to document their place in our world.  Pyke is fascinated with the collection and classification of images.

His series of astronauts, philosophers, actors, veterans, political figures, and musicians all illustrate a greater mission - to record the “faces of our time.”  Each of Pyke’s photographs demonstrates his unique way of seeing, a portrait style that takes us to a very intimate space.

Steve Pyke lives in New York. Over the last decade he has worked for many of the world’s leading magazines, and is currently a staff photographer for The New Yorker.  He was recently awarded The Royal Photographic Society Award in 2006 and was made an M.B.E. in The Queen's Birthday Honours list in 2003.

His work has been exhibited worldwide and is held in permanent collections including the National Portrait Gallery and Imperial War Museum in London, and the New York Public Library.
