Photography Social Group - Looking at the work of Stuart Franklin

Please join us on Wednesday 14th August at 18:30 BST to discuss the work of Stuart Franklin, a member of Magnum Photos.

This session will begin by watching a video which can be accessed through your OU library login:

The abstract  for this video says:

"Contact sheets are the first overview for the photographer of what he has captured on film. They give a unique and intimate view of the style, methods and thoughts of the artist. Henri Cartier - Bresson himself, founder of the Magnum Photo agency, was strongly opposed to the idea of disclosing his contact sheets. However, this series reveals that the process by which an image is chosen reveals the multi - layered meeting point between the photographer's personal style and philosophy and the subject being captured on the other side of the lens."

After discussion we will look at some of his photographs which are available on the the Photography Social Group Padlet so please do have a look before the session then come along and join in the conversation.
