The History of Family Photography and Dating Old Photographs
Wednesday 19th April 2023, 19:30-20:45
Zoom
Stephen Gill has been a professional photographer in a variety of specialisms for over fifty years. For the last twenty-five years he has specialised in photo-restoration and research. With three published text books on dating old photographs and many years as a speaker on the topic, he likes to help people discover the secrets their old photographs can contain.
The talk follows a timeline of photographic history and how it can relate to your own research. We look at examples where looking at details can help put a photo into a time, place or context. If anyone wants a little help with their own photos, a decent scan can be sent to secretary@chfhs.org.uk as soon as possible when Stephen will be happy to take a look and give his opinions.
