Drawn by Light: The Royal Photographic Society Collection

Ending soon!
Drawn by light is a collection of “some of the greatest photographs taken by some of the greatest photographers who ever lived” according to Colin Harding, a curator at the National Media Museum. The Royal Photographic Society archive consists of over 250,000 images, making it one of the most important and comprehensive photographic collections globally. This exhibition brings together over 200 highlights form the collection ranging from with work of early photography pioneers such as Julia Margaret Cameron and William Henry Fox Talbot to modern day giants such as Martin Parr and Terry O’Neill.

Make sure you see the ‘Christina’ prints by Lieutenant Colonel Mervyn O’Gorman at Durdle Door beach in Dorset and those of another British photography Roger Fenton of the Houses of Parliament. There are also early daguerreotypes on show. The daguerreotype photographic process was invented by Louis Daguerre and Nicéphore Niépce. The process produced a single daguerreotype rather than a negative, making the production of several images from one shot difficult. Around the same time, British chemist Henry Fox Talbot invented a process which did produce a negative. You might want to visit the Fox Talbot Museum at Lacock Abbey in rural Wiltshire to find out more about the rival processes.

Guy Bourdin: Image Maker

Guy Bourdin, the French, Fashion Photographer was known for his startling and provocative images which, unconventionally for fashion, told a story, giving the clothes themselves a secondary role. Like his contemporary Helmut Newton, Bourdin worked for Vogue. The two complemented each other according to Bourdin: “Between him and me the magazine became pretty irresistible in many ways… if he had been alone or I had been alone it wouldn’t have worked.” As well as Vogue, Bourdin worked for Harper’s Bazaar and shot campaigns for Chanel, Issey Miyake and Gianni Versace. He is said to be an influence for modern fashion photography icons including Nick Knight and Tim Walker.
This exhibition features over 100 works from the compositional image-maker and is the largest ever exhibition of the influential photographer, charting his career from protege of Man Ray to photography revolutionary in his own right.
