    HEN Brian Griffin was 35, he won a Design and Art Direction award for. Ever the eccentric, he decided to collect his award dressed as the Royal Albert Hall. Griffin's photographic career began in the 1970s shooting corporate portraits for . Unsurprisingly, he had an unorthodox approach to portraiture, and his work was often humorous and, at times, surreal. His unusual depiction of men in suits attracted the attention of the music industry, with smartly dressed bands such as The Jam and Ultravox requesting his services. In 2013 he received the Centenary Medal from the RPS for his achievements in photography. A selection of Griffin's pictures from the 1970s and '80s (many of them vintage silver gelatin or silver bromide prints) is on show at MMX Gallery until 3 August.
