Life and Work
Wright was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, 1978.
He was inspired to create British Culture Archive as a platform for photography that he thought was being overlooked by the industry, particularly images of working class society that he could relate to.[4][5][6] Wright has written numerous texts and interviewed photographers such as Peter Mitchell (photographer),[7] Richard Davis (photographer)[8] and Jürgen Schadeberg.[9]
Wright lives in Manchester with his family.[10]
