It was quite possibly the last time that all of these pioneers of British photojournalism would be in the same room together. On the 50th anniversary of Picture Post’s last publication, the reunion was a fitting tribute to a number of photographers, journalists and staff of the magazine who helped to both capture the period and shape the course of photojournalism in the UK.

It was extraordinary that we were sitting there celebrating the impact this publication had on the way we digest imagery in the media today. I can’t think of any other magazine that has had such an influence over such a long period of time.
