Dennis Constantine - Photographer (1927 -2011)

Dennis Constantine, who has died aged 84, was a portrait photographer whose subjects included the Queen, Sophia Loren and Idi Amin. His passion for photography began when he was assigned to air reconnaissance during the second world war.

He was born in Lancashire and went to Accrington grammar school (now Accrington academy). He originally wanted to become a quantity surveyor but war intervened, and he served at RAF Kankesanturai in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and later in Japan.
