Inspired by our exhibition, Soldiers and Suffragettes: The Photography of Christina Broom, join artist and historic photography expert, Jo Gane, to learn about early photography and try your hand using pinhole techniques!
Christina Broom is now hailed as a pioneer for women press photographers in the UK. Her work documented a generation; recording arresting images of suffrage activity, leading topical sports and royal occasions and poignant, insightful pictures over the course of the First World War. When she started out she was a novice, using a second hand camera and a make shift dark room in her coal cellar. Yet, even early on, her compositions, approach and the access she obtained for subjects distinguished her from her contemporaries proving that photography doesn’t require expensive cameras. Jo Gane will give a short introduction to early photographic processes and then lead participants in making their own pinhole box cameras for an afternoon of photographic experiment.
