Harry Borden (born 1965) is a British portrait photographer based in London. His subjects have included celebrities and politicians. Examples of Borden's work are held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London[1] and National Portrait Gallery, Australia.[2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Borden was born in New York and brought up on a farm in Devon.[3] His father, Charles, was a Jewish American who served in the Marines during World War II,[4] whose parents emigrated to the US from Ukraine and Romania,[5] and his mother was a British Christian.[3][6] He is the brother of painters Nicholas Borden and Frances Borden.

The first photograph Borden developed was of his father with a drove of pigs on their farm, taken when Harry was thirteen years old.[4] He studied photography at Plymouth College of Art and Design (1985–87).

Career

[edit]

Borden moved to London after graduation, where he worked as an assistant for Lester Bookbinder. He received his first commission from The Observer in 1994. Borden's portraits appeared regularly in this and other Sunday supplements, Harpers & Queen, Vogue and The New Yorker.

In June 2005, he had his first solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London.[1] Harry Borden: On Business included 30 portraits of leading business leaders. The NPG holds more than 100 examples of Borden’s work in its photographic collection.[7]

In 2017 his book Survivor, A Portrait of the Survivors of the Holocaust was published by Octopus.[8] The book had been previously shortlisted for the European Publishers Award for Photography in 2014 and was judged among the 10 best Photography books of 2018 by the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation.[9] In 2021 his second book Single Dad was published by Hoxton Mini Press.[10]

A photo Borden took of comedian Bob Mortimer was used as the front cover of his 2021 autobiography And Away....[11]

In 2023, Borden and his son Fred set up a YouTube channel in which Harry talks about photographing celebrities and what the process of the photo shoots were like.[12] The channel has over 40,000 subscribers as of December 2025.[12]
