Born in 1912 in Vienna, Wolfgang Suschitzky arrived in London in 1935. In 1937 he joined Strand Films as a documentary cameraman. As a photographer, Suschitzky is best known for his depiction of London in the thirties and forties, and his series on Charing Cross Road is a fantastic document of the area at the time. The fascination of these photographs lies not simply with the place but also with the people and their industries of book-selling, shoe-shining and trading of various kinds, many of which have, like the buildings, vanished or have been changed beyond recognition. All of these are shown with the genuine affection that is typical of Suschitzky's work.

Suschitzky's subjects have also included portraits of children, animals, and literary figures such as Aldous Huxley and HG Wells.  He has captured the mood of war, from his images of war-torn London to the Anti-Gulf War Demonstration in Trafalgar Square in 1991, and travelled extensively taking photographs in India, the former Yugoslavia, Burma, Nigeria and Thailand.

His work resides, amongst others, in the Archives of the City of Amsterdam; Haags Gemeentemuseum, The Hague; and the University of Texas, Austin.
