Description
Les Cleveland is one of New Zealand's most well-known photographers. He has been committed to documenting the vernacular elements of everyday life and, in his best work, they are raised to iconic status. Photographs of Wellington in the 1950's and 1960's recorded distinctive and culturally-important localities.
Cleveland taught Political Science at Victoria University from 1966 until his retirement. In addition to his photography, he has written two major political works, and had a lifelong interest in creative writing, documentary making and the collecting and recording of New Zealand popular songs and ballads.
