Rodney Elton, 2nd Baron Elton © Luke Archer
As part of Photographique’s new program of talks, Vignette’s Luke Archer will be speaking about his ongoing Inheritance project:
Inspired by a 100 year-old camera inherited from his grandfather, Luke traced its lineage back to Bassano, the famous 19th century society portraitist. The work he has produced as a result examines the notion of inheritance through photographing descendants of the titled elite first captured using this equipment.
The project has been nominated for several prizes including the 2011 South West Graduate Photography Prize. A portrait from the project is now in National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection.
Come along to hear Luke talk about the project and voice his thoughts on the current House of Lords reform.
During the day Photographique will be celebrating the grand opening of the new Clare Street store with a 10% discount on cameras and a 20% discount on printing, developing and frames.
Photographique is the leading stockist for Vignette so if your looking for Issue 5 look no further.
Talk 18.30 – 20.00
