Biography

A. Horsley Hinton British, 1863-1908 Born in London, Alfred Horsley Hinton studied painting before taking up photography in the 1880s. After working for several years in a London photographic supply store, from 1891-93 he managed the Guildford branch studio of Ralph Robinson, son of well-known photographer Henry Peach Robinson. Hinton was a founding member of the Linked Ring and exhibited regularly in their group shows, as well as in photographic salons in Europe and America (including those of the Royal Photographic Society, the first and second Philadelphia Photographic Salons, and the 1904 St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition). Known for his landscape photographs, Hinton was also an accomplished master of the composite print. Two of his photographs were published in the July 1905 issue of Camera Work. In his position as editor of London's weekly Amateur Photographer (a post he held from 1893 until his early death), Hinton did much to popularize pictorial photography. He contributed numerous articles to his own magazine, as well as to several London newspapers, various art journals, and both Camera Notes and Camera Work. He also lectured on pictorial photography and wrote a number of books on the subject. M.M.
