Hereford Photography Festival 2011

[Michael Wong]

Now entering its 21st year, UK’s longest running photography festival will be returning next month with 40 exhibitions featuring more than 75 artists from across the globe. One of the highlights for this year will be an exhibition at Hereford Museum and Art Gallery, co-curated by Simon Bainbridge, editor of the British Journal of Photography. The exhibition Time and Motion Studies features documentary work from six leading artists – Donald Weber, George Georgio, Manuel Vasquez, Robbie Cooper, Tim Hetherington and Vanessa Winship. They demonstrate the process between seeing a potential photo and making the conscious decision to take it. The exhibition will open with a panel discussion and Q&A with the artists.

The festival will see more than 200 works featured in a range of venues, including Hereford Museum and Art Gallery, The Courtyard, Hereford Cathedral, Hereford College of Arts and The Watershed. Further details can be found here.
