On 20/03/19 we had a day’s visit to the Contemporary photography festival, Format. The day was bright and sunny, which helped at some of the venues to lighten the spaces. With the exception of some of the portrait work, I felt there was overall feeling of contemplation and uncertainty with Brexit looming about. Two themes and work I liked the most were: 1. John Angerson, On this day: I liked how the two images were different with the dated connection in time. ie newspaper article – room photograph. The point that it was a moment in history gave them the meaning and focus. 2. Sixteen: These were portraits of individuals, from head and shoulders to environmental, with some test and the persons life. The work was done by a number of photographers for the festival.
