THE ROBERT CAPA CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER
THE PHOTOJOURNALIST ROBERT CAPA I recognised some of Robert Capa’s iconic photographs but had never known the name of the photographer. I find his photographs very moving and like a window to that moment in time, especially paired with the context of the time and place.

LEEDS ART GALLERY

DOUGIE WALLACE – PHOTOGRAPHER
I find Dougie Wallace’s approach and visual style of street photographer really interesting and inspiring. His subject matter is very honest and reminicent of real life, he photographs the more abrasive parts of society.
