Join celebrated photographer Dazeley who will be in conversation with books and manuscripts expert Matthew Haley from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow about his fabulous new publication Monochrome. These images of plants, animals, and flowers are produced by hand and made with the original Platinotype method devised by William Willis in 1876. Platinum prints have a distinctively rich, luminous quality with great shadow detail and warmth. Printed on high-quality paper with metallic inks and casebound with a ribbon, Monochrome is a fabulous book appealing to the photographer, art, or nature lover.
Dazeley’s career has spanned over 60 years, in 1976 he started working out of his own studio in Chelsea, London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, which is the highest distinction of the RPS and recognises original work and outstanding ability. Furthermore, Dazeley is a life member of the Association of Photographers and was awarded a British Empire Medal in 2017. His great gift is “making the ordinary look extraordinary”. This will be a chance to hear this distinguished photographer in conversation and to purchase his book afterwards. The event also includes complimentary entry to Firsts as well.
