Fay Godwin (1931 - 2005) was one of Britain's greatest landscape photographers. She is best known for her 1985 exhibition and accompanying book, Land - a very personal celebration of the British landscape that enjoyed enormous popular and critical success. A comprehensive background on Godwin can be found here and here, and details on the current NMeM exhibition here.
Godwin's Land exhibition was a critical and popular success during akey period for photography. Professor Roger Taylor (Photo historian) and Colin Ford (Head of National Museum of Photography, Film and TV, 1983-93) recount this achievement in a short film which can be found here.
