Kibworth Art Lovers’ Society

2nd December 2018 | Clubs and Societies

Roger and Danièle Bradley described their lives with photography at the November meeting. They have practised photography for many years, and their work has been influenced by early pioneers such as Sir John Herschel (1842) and Anna Atkins (1843). Roger’s family moved to Canada in his early childhood, where he was given his first camera as a reward for finishing his paper round; on his return to England he taught photography. Recurring themes in his work are transport such as shipping and railways. Danièle’s first camera came from her father, and she has featured landscapes and her family many times.
