Vaughan Grylls is a British artist, photographer, and author.[1] Known for his fine art photography and sculptures, Grylls first received recognition for his 1960s pun-sculptures and, later, for his 1980s photography and panoramic photo collages.[2]

Grylls was the director of Kent Institute of Art & Design before co-founding the University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone & Rochester.[3][4] He has work in various public collections, including the National Library of Wales[5] and University College London.[6]

Initially trained as a sculptor, Grylls began creating photo collages in 1977.[7] Some of his notable panoramic works include The Wailing Wall, Jerusalem (1979), Site of the Assassination of JFK (1980), and Britain Through the Looking Glass (1984).[8][9][10][11]

Additionally, Grylls has authored seven books in the Then and Now series: Oxford Then and Now (2009), Cambridge Then and Now (2011),[12][13][14] Singapore Then and Now (2016)[15] Hong Kong Then and Now (2016)[16] Shanghai Then and Now (2017),[17] The Old West Then and Now (2019),[18] London Then and Now (2020)[19] and was photographer for Hollywood Then and Now (2013).[20]
