Contemporary Photography
with Bill Jackson & Richard Sadler FRPS
Bill Jackson has been a professional artist for over 25 years specialising in lens based media. He graduated with a BA degree in Graphic Design and later took an MA in Electronic Graphics. In the 1980's he turned away from film and experimented with technology and early digital imaging systems. He currently lives and works in London, working with high resolution camera systems to explore creative solutions. He has exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world. Now retired from education, he was Head of e-Learning, Research & Development at Warwickshire School of Art. Bill will be discussing his experimental digital work including his highly acclaimed series Morphenia, a suite of sixteen computer generated digital prints. More of Bill's imaginative work can be seen at his website www.billjackson.biz
Dr Richard Sadler MA FRPS is Chairman of the RPS Contemporary Group and formerly leader of the BA photography degree course at Derby University. On his previous visit to Yorkshire, Richard gave a very interesting account of Bill Brandt's work at Bourneville, Birmingham. This time Richard will talk about his own career in photography, from camera club to industrial photographer to studio owner to laboratory manager and finally to academia. He will illustrate this long career with his excellent photographs, some of which are in the National Media Museum collection. Richard is sure to keep us both entertained and amused with his relaxed style of presentation.Sunday, 16th September 2007 10.30 am to 4.30 pm
