Homer Sykes is a professional magazine and documentary photographer. His principal commissions in Britain during the 1970s and 1980s were for the "weekend colour supplements," such as The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, The Observer, You, and the Sunday Express magazines. He covered weekly news for Newsweek, Time, and the former Now! Magazine, documenting conflicts in Israel, Lebanon, and Northern Ireland, as well as weekly news in the UK. Over the last fifty years, he has captured numerous magazine portraits of both the famous and not so famous—at home, at work, and at play. Alongside his commercial magazine assignments, Sykes has always worked on personal photographic documentary projects.

In the 1970s, he began what has become an ongoing career project documenting traditional British folklore customs and annual events. His first book, Once a Year, Some Traditional British Customs (Gordon Fraser), was published in 1977. In 2016, Dewi Lewis Publishing reissued this volume with over 50 'new' images from his archive. Sykes is the author and co-author-photographer of nine books about Britain, as well as Shanghai Odyssey (Dewi Lewis Publishing) and On the Road Again (Mansion Editions). The latter, an American project, began in 1969 while Sykes was in college. The photographic road trip was repeated in 1971, with the work then set aside for thirty years. In 1999 and 2001, Sykes traveled once again by Greyhound bus, crisscrossing America to document the ‘down home’ idiosyncrasies of everyday middle America.

In 2002, Sykes established his self-publishing concern, Mansion Editions, which has published On the Road Again and Hunting with Hounds. More recently, Cafe Royal Books has published 30 zines of his work.

As an award-winning photographer, Sykes has never been busier, managing his extensive archive of over twenty thousand content-rich images, working on personal projects, and shooting new material. His work is held by many private collectors and national collections. For ten years, he was a Visiting Lecturer at the London College of Communication (University of the Arts London), where he conducted group and one-to-one tutorials with both MA and BA students studying Photojournalism and Documentary Photography.

Sykes' vintage prints are represented by the James Hyman Gallery in London and by Francoise Morin at Les Douches La Galerie in Paris.
