Bert Hardy

Hardy freelanced for The Bicycle magazine, and bought his first small-format Leica 35 mm.

Hardy was self-taught and used a Leica —unconventional gear for press photographers of the era— but went on to become the Posts Chief Photographer, after he earned its first photographer credit for his 1 February 1941 photo-essay about Blitz-stressed fire-fighters.
