Dealer Notes

An intriguing edition, highlighting the photographic talent of the renowned British designer’s father, a keen amateur photographer and co-founder of the Beeston Camera Club, and the parallels between the father and son’s sometimes surrealistic vision. ‘[My father] thought about composition, light, witty juxtapositions, experiment – not only taking photographs but also developing and printing all his own work in his home-made attic darkroom. In contrast, my snaps with an instant camera are about observation, humour and the "caught moment". Very different from my father's photographs, but, oddly, strongly similar. What a pair!'
