Elliott Franks

Almost three years

For almost three years Elliott photographed everything this campaign did. He came to every event, stood alongside us time and time again, and told the story of so much of it through his pictures.

His contribution cannot be overstated. His photographs ran across the national press and gave the campaigns a reach far beyond the people standing there on the day. Without them, much of this would never have reached the audiences it did. He did not simply record what we were doing. He helped make it matter.

He was far more than the man behind the camera. He became part of this community and a much loved and familiar face in it. Always lovely, always charming, and without fail always there with the best pictures.

26 pages on this site carry his photographs. His name is printed under every one of them, because the people who take these pictures are owed their name on them. That was true before we lost him and it is why you can get to this page from any of them.

Our love and our thoughts are with Elliott's family, with his friends, and with everybody who knew him.
