ZOOM MEETING
In this photo-talk Tony Bramley FRPS will explore why NDPS and it’s members have a lot to thank the Pictorialists for.. A presentation on photography Pictorialism from the late 19C to early 20C.
Claimed as the beginning of photography as art, Pictorialism changed many views on photography that still resonates today. A presentation that takes in the key photographers/artists of the time showing the beautiful stylised images they produced.
Tony outlines the emergence of the movement and how it changed the voice of the amateur photographer. Demachy, Stieglitz, Marissiaux, Boughten and too many others to mention are celebrated for their artistic imagery.
Digital photography provides a opportunity to emulate the style of the Pictorialist’s and Tony finishes the presentation with some examples of process using current software.
Non-members of the Society are able to attend this presentation by purchasing a Guest ticket which are available only through our booking agent Eventbrite UK using the link below.
