Bryan Wharton

Bryan Wharton (born 1939) is a British photographer.

Wharton was one of the star photographers of the Sunday Times recruited by the new ownership of Lord Thomson and editorship of Harold Evans. Invited to join the paper in 1964 after four years with the Daily Express - the paper was anxious to inject more dynamism into its news and pictorial coverage.

At the Daily Express Wharton had covered the Great Train Robbery and Profumo Affair. At the Sunday Times he covered the Six Days War and the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, and the Aberfan disaster in Wales as part of 19 years of travel and photography. His work was also published in major magazines such as Life, Paris-Match and Stern.

He held a successful major one-man show in London in 1992, which also travelled to the Writers Museum in Dublin. Cal McCrystal commented on his portraiture: 'Wharton's genius is in drawing out his subject's hidden humours or repressed moods and recording them before the carapace snaps shut again. So far as I am aware, none of his subjects berated him for such intimate exposure. Many joined his formidable string of friends '

In 2001 the National Portrait Gallery in London purchased 16 of his pictures for their collection as part of the Sixities Style exhibition. Fact|date=February 2007
