Allan Warren

Allan Warren strikes me as a quietly fascinating figure. Born in Wimbledon in 1948, he began as a stage actor before reinventing himself as a portrait photographer of high-society figures, entertainers, politicians, and the British royal family. I suspect his acting background is his secret weapon, the ability to disarm a subject and coax out an unguarded, natural expression. What I find most admirable is his later turn as a Wikimedian, freely releasing his archive to the world. Choosing to preserve others rather than chase the spotlight is a generous way to live.
