Photographer's Talk
The AS Level Photography class and the A Level Art class were invited to attend a presentation today by the following three photographers:
Dannie Price http://www.dannieprice.co.uk/
Rachel Vogeleisen http://rachelvogeleisen.com/
Günther Worth http://www.guenther-worth.com/ http://www.guenther-worth.com/
The photographers are MA graduates of the University of West London and recently showcased their diverse work at the ‘Instantia’ exhibition at PM Gallery, Ealing Broadway.
The photographers presented their work and gave insight in to their personal practice. Students had the opportunity to be introduced to new ways of working and look at some very interesting cameras! Hopefully this has got year 12 and 13 considering their own creative futures...
We worked with the PM Gallery last year to create photographs with Year 8. The gallery is a fantastic local art space!
Miss Boyle would like to thank Dannie, Rachel and Günther for taking their time to visit and inspire us at EWS!

Britain's Photographic Revolution
An interesting article from The Guardian:
"The September issue of the art magazine Frieze ran a glossary of "keywords" in contemporary art and culture. Under "Photography" the compilers wrote: "The first photograph was produced in 1826. In 2009 Tate advertised the following job for the first time: Curator (Photography and International Art). Discuss."
The question invited was: why had it taken so long for photography to be viewed as a serious art form in Britain? The Museum of Modern Art in New York, for instance, appointed its first curator of photography, Beaumont Newhall, in 1940."
