Terry Cryer
Terry Cryer (born 24 June 1934, in Leeds, United Kingdom) is a British jazz and blues photographer. Described by MOJO magazine as "The Dean of UK jazz and blues photographers",〔(Terry Cryer Official Website )〕 Cryer is best known for portraits of some of the genre's most renowned performers.
==Early career==
At the age of fourteen, Cryer worked for a film processing company called Cardigan D&P, mixing chemicals at 100 gallons a time. It was this experience that sparked his interest in photography. Three years later he joined the army and was sent by the War Office to take photographs in Egypt. His first camera was a Reid (an imitation Leica), but he saved up his pay and upgraded to a superior twin-lens Rolleiflex camera.〔
Upon his return to Leeds, Cryer found employment at a Butlins holiday camp where he learned the art of speed printing. In his spare time he went door-to-door offering family photos until tuba player Bob Barclay opened his famous Studio 20 club in Leeds and invited Cryer to photograph the musicians who performed at the venue.〔
In 1956, Louis Armstrong played at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester – this was the first time Cryer had photographed a high profile artist from the United States. Cryer then went on to tour with American artists such as Jimmy Rushing and Eddie Condon. However, returning from a Big Bill Broonzy gig in Manchester one night, Cryer broke his neck in a car accident. Rushing wrote to him whilst he was recovering in hospital and undeterred by his injury, Cryer was soon back working though still in plaster. Cryer says of the crash: ‘'We had got pissed with Big Bill in the dressing room after the concert and Bob Barclay fell asleep at the wheel, it is not surprising we crashed!' 〔(Sandy brown Jazz )〕
