The family is the first institution in human history. No group is as universal as the family, the family is the strongest universal group. Families have existed in every age and in every society. Families are found in all corners of the world. No culture or society has ever existed without some type of family organisation. Each one of us is a member of some family or another.
Pamsfam represents a family who live in Hillfields, Coventry, UK.
Simon will be presenting a screening and talk.
richard davis
Richard Davis is a British social documentary and portrait photographer born in Birmingham, but now based in the North West of England. However, it was Birmingham where Richard started on his photographic journey 40 years ago and it's a City that he still feels a close connection to, and a place where he still photographs in whenever the opportunity arises.
Recently the Modernist Society published a book featuring Richard's photographs from underneath Spaghetti Junction, a place of regular interest to him over the years.
Richard will be presenting a talk and screening, and signings of his new book, Spaghetti Junction available now at www.the-modernist.org
RYLEY MORTON
Documentary photographer Ryley Morton captures diverse cultures and life experiences, challenging stereotypes by celebrating individuality. He uses photography to: Explore and evolve his understanding of the world. To challenge his own views and beliefs, hoping to spark discourse on often ignored topics, and as a tool for documenting history as it unfolds.
In his ongoing series ‘No other world but England’ he explores the diverse culture of England through a series of weird and wonderful; cultural, religious and traditional festivals. Using traditional methodology, reminiscent of Edward S Curtis, he uses a purpose-built natural-light photo booth to capture portraits of people supporting each event.
