Guest Artists

Timothy AllenTimothy Allen was born in Tonbridge in the South East of England in 1971. At 22, after graduating from

Leeds University with a BSc in Zoology he left the UK and spent 3 years traveling around Indonesia

which was the catalyst that sparked his passion for photography. Timothy joined an aid convoy to

Bosnia in order to shoot his first year reportage project. Six months later he left college, moved to

London and began working for the Sunday Telegraph, later inspiring commissions from all the British

broadsheet publications and finally, a 6 year position at The Independent working predominantly on

features and portraits.

Timothy joined Axiom Photographic Agency in 2002 leading him to cover a dynamic and broad spectrum

of global stories with subjects ranging from the civil war in the remote Spice Islands of far eastern

Indonesia, to the intriguing subculture of The World Taxidermy Championships in Springfield, Illinois.

Beginning in 2009 the BBC commissioned Timothy to work on the landmark series Human Planet.

For two years he was in charge of the production’s photography and his stills were destined for use in

the programme’s worldwide publicity, a best-selling book and a touring photographic exhibition.

In recent years the focus of his work has continued to move in the direction of DSLR cinematography

and multimedia production which has taken him to every corner of the globe, from 19 000 ft up in the

Himalayas to 40 metres beneath the South China Sea as well as projects within communities in the

Arctic, tropical rain forests and remote desert locations.

Timothy is a regular commentator on TV and radio in the field of media and travel/exploration and he

is an experienced public speaker having undertaken inspirational lecture tours for the likes of the

Royal Geographical Society as well as giving keynote presentations at conferences and corporate

events around the world.

Commendations include: 6 Picture Editors Guild Awards, 2 British Press Awards, a Press Photographer’s

Year Award and 11 Travel Photographer of the Year commendations including the current title (2013).

‘Human Planet’ has received a host of awards including 8 BAFTA nominations, an Emmy and the ITB

Cultural Book Prize.

'Around the World in 20 Years'. At the Festival Timothy Allen will take you on a journey through some

of the lesser known spots on our planet visiting people living unusual and unique lives. Spanning all

the inhabited continents and 20 years of travel this will also be the story of photography's digital

revolution and how it has completely redefined the way he works and makes a living.

Ian BerryIan Berry made his reputation as a

photojournalist reporting from South Africa,

where he worked for the Daily Mail and

later Drum magazine. He was the only

photographer to document the massacre at

Sharpeville. While based in Paris he was

invited to join Magnum by Henri Cartier-

Bresson. He moved to London to become

the first contract photographer for the

Observer Magazine. He has covered

conflict in Israel, Ireland, Vietnam,

Czechoslovakia and Congo, famine in

Ethiopia and apartheid in South Africa.

He has also reported on the political and

social transformations in China and the

former USSR.

Awards include Nikon Photographer of the Year (twice), Picture of the Year award from the National Press

Photographers of America, and British Press Magazine Photographer of the Year (twice). Arts Council

Award, Art Directors’ Club of New York Award.

His books include The English, two books on South Africa, Sold into Slavery and Sea.

Exhibitions in London, Paris, Hamburg, Brussels, Bradford, Perpignan, Aix en Provence and

Lowry Gallery.

Very often a single image taken can evolve into long - term projects. At the festival Ian will explore

some of these picture stories and how an agency such as Magnum can help in providing support to an

individual. He will look at the pros and cons of going it alone or having an agent.

Arthur Edwards MBEArthur has been the Royal Photographer for the Sun newspaper since 1977. He has photographed 7 royal

weddings, 4 funerals and 6 royal births.

For more than thirty years this Fleet Street legend has documented

and defined the changes in our monarchy.

He has captured some of the most memorable moments of the

House of Windsor from Diana to the marriage of William and Kate.

He has made more than 200 trips following the Royals, becoming

friends and on first name terms with most. He has shaken hands with

Nelson Mandela and met the Pope. He has stepped in both the Oval

Office and the Kremlin.

From the East End of London he worked for The Sun as a freelance covering cricket, football and general

news but in 1977 editor Larry Lamb asked him to become the

newspapers' Royal Photographer. His first thought was ‘what a rotten job‘.

He won an MBE in 2003 for his services to the newspaper industry as a photographer.

Arthur will talk about his life covering the Royal Family and the stories behind the pictures of The Queen,

Diana, Camilla, and the rest of the most important family in Great Britain throughout a career spanning

more than 30 years for The Sun newspaper, travelling the world and capturing history.

Angèle Etoundi Essamba ‘Photography is for me a need to express and to

communicate. As long as the need will exist, I will create.'

Angèle was born in Douala and grew up in Yaoundé in

Cameroon, but as a young girl went to Paris where she

received her education. Later she moved to the Netherlands

where she trained at the Netherlands Professional School of

Photography ( Nederlandse Fotovakshool).

Angèle has gained international recognition with exhibitions

all over the world (Africa, Europe, Asia, South America and United States).

In her work she has broken away from the stereotypical representations of an Africa torn by famines and wars,

instead celebrating the cultural richness and diversity of the continent. She is focused in the creation of black

women portraits that question the concepts of identity and cultural duality, in order to promote mutual respect,

understanding and tolerance.

At the festival Angèle will talk of her celebration of the black body:

Body symbol, Body icon; Passion and Vibration; Raw body, Pure and Mature; Meaning and Greatness; Grace and Pride;

Stylized, Magnified; Elegance, Sensuality; Magic body Accomplished and Fullfilled; Bearer, Protector, Transmitter, Guardian;

Figured, Transfigured, Invented, Reinvented; Wounded, Disfigured, Mutilated, Devastated; Finally ….Liberated

David HurnBorn in the UK but of Welsh descent, David Hurn is a self-taught photographer who began his career in 1955

as an assistant at the Reflex Agency. While a freelance photographer, he gained his reputation with his

reportage of the 1956 Hungarian revolution and was

invited to become a full member of Magnum Photos in

1967. In 1973 he set up the famous School of

Documentary Photography in Newport, Wales, and has

been in demand throughout the world to teach work-

shops. He has written: "Life as it unfolds in front

of the camera is full of such complexity, wonder and

surprise that I find it unnecessary to create new

realities. There is more pleasure, for me, in things as they

are." He suggests that two of his major influences for

attempting to be a better photographer are good shoes

and looking at other peoples pictures. At the

Festival he will chat about both. David Hurn has a

longstanding international reputation as one of Britain's

leading reportage photographers. He continues to live

and work in Wales.

In his talk David Hurn will be taking an indulgent

meander on sixty years being a photographer,

reminiscing on influences, hates, loves, friends and

surprises - above all how one can stay eating.

Justin MaxonJustin Maxon (1983) was born in a small town in the woods of

northern California. While attending journalism school at San

Francisco State, he began exploring projects that held greater

social implications. His desire now is to reveal different

variables of truth in humanity’s conflicted existence.

Justin has received numerous awards for his photography, from

competitions like World Press Photo, UNICEF Images of the Year, and POYi. He won the Deeper Perspective

Photographer of the Year at the 2008 Lucie Awards; the same year he was named one of PDN’s 30 Photographers to

Watch. He was selected to participate in World Press Photo’s 2010 Joop Swart Masterclass. In addition, he has

received grants from the Magnum Foundation Emergency Fund, FotoVisura, the Alexia Foundation for World Peace,

and the Aaron Siskind Foundation.

He has worked on feature stories for publications such as TIME, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Mother Jones Magazine,

Bloomberg Business Week, Fader Magazine, The New York Times, and NPR. He has lectured and been invited to give

workshops throughout the world including the New York Photo Festival, the opening of the 2009 World Press Awards

and recently spent 2 weeks lecturing and giving workshops in South Africa sponsored by the US State Department.

Exhibitions of his work have been shown in Venzuela, London, Bermuda, San Francisco, New York, Chicago,

Singapore, Bangladesh, Poland, Slovenia, Cambodia, and Istanbul.

Justin Maxon has spent the past six-years documenting the lives of people in Chester, PA. This small American town

(pop 37,000) is a microcosm of the wounds of racism that stain the US today. The compounded social, political and

economic landscape present has created a complex patchwork environment of equal parts trauma and courage.

His work has evolved over the years in response to his changing perception of the space; taking on a multitude of

journalistic, artistic and social forms. His creative process includes layering images through multiple exposures,

collage and traditional print making, along with utilizing public sculptural instillation made from found objects from

Chester. Each project builds a greater vocabulary to more completely speak to the complex narrative that exists.

At the festival Maxon will discuss the evolution of his process over the course of his time in Chester, along with sharing

personal history that has forged his commitment to working towards deconstructing the forces of structural oppression

that exist in the United States of America.

We are very grateful to Nicholas Bowman (BscEcon International Politics and History, Aberystwyth University 1983) for his support which

has enabled Justin to attend the festival.

Laura PannackLaura Pannack is a London based Photographer. She was

educated at the University of Brighton, Central Saint Martin’s College of Art

and LCC.

Her work has been extensively exhibited and published both in the UK and

internationally, including at The National Portrait Gallery, The Houses of

Parliament, Somerset House, and the Royal Festival Hall in London.

In 2010 Laura received first prize in the Portrait Singles category of the World

Press Photo awards. She has also won and been shortlisted for several

other awards including The Sony World Photography Awards, The Magenta Foundation and Lucies IPA.

She was recently awarded the Vic Odden by The Royal Photographic Society award for a notable achievement in the

art of photography by a British photographer aged 35 or under. Her art focuses on social documentary and portraiture,

and seeks to explore the complex relationship between subject and photographer.

Laura is driven by research led self-initiated projects. In her own words, she does all she can “to understand the lives

of those captured, and to present them creatively”. She is a firm believer that “time, trust and understanding is the key

to portraying subjects truthfully”, and as such, many of her projects develop over several years. Her particular

approach allows a genuine connection to exist between sitter and photographer, which in turn elucidates the intimacy

of these very human exchanges. Her images aim to suggest the shared ideas and experiences that are entwined in

each frame that she shoots. Laura largely shoots with a film camera on her personal projects, allowing her process to

be organic rather than being predefined by fixed ideas, thus removing additional pressure on the sitter.

‘Laura’s remarkable ability to build trust and respect with her subjects allows her to express a gritty vulnerability that is

as sincere as it is elusive to capture.’ Terry O’Neill - Photographer

At the Festival, Laura will give a short introduction to her work and then focus on how we form connections with and

without a camera. How does photography allow and prevent us from engaging with others and how she forms

relationships with those she photographs. She will be exploring if image making is about observing or participating.

Kajal Nisha PatelKajal Nisha Patel is a self-taught photographer, based

in the UK. She has won and been shortlisted for

numerous grants and awards, including Magenta

Flash Forward 2013 winner.

Kajal was recently a finalist for the Asian Women

Photographer’s Showcase, for her work about the

Indian textiles industry. This project was also exhibited

at FORMAT13. She has exhibited in the UK and

internationally including The Whitechapel Gallery in

London, The National Museum of Singapore, and

Neubacher Shor Contemporary, Toronto. Her work

was also featured at the 2013 TEDx Ashokau exchange in San Diego.

Kajal has been documenting the British South Asian experience since 2005. Her work focuses on colonial and

postcolonial legacies of the British Raj both in India and the UK. Her work is interconnected along the theme of

economic migration and cultural displacement.

Publications include: BBC World News Asia, The Guardian, The Economist and The Daily Telegraph.

At the festival Kajal will be speaking about her long term project ‘The Golden Mile’, a project she began in her

birthplace of Leicester. She will also introduce a new body of work, ‘Trade’. This project explores the decline of the

textiles & hosiery industry in Leicestershire and her experiences of growing up as the daughter of a factory worker.

Charlie WaiteCharlie Waite is now firmly established as one of the world’s

leading landscape photographers.

Over the last twenty-five years, he has lectured throughout

the world and has held numerous one-man exhibitions in

London including two at the National Theatre. He has

exhibited twice in Tokyo and had a solo exhibition at the

Centre for Photographic Art, Carmel, California, as well as

highly acclaimed one man shows on Broadway in New York

and the OXO Gallery on the South Bank, London.

His style is unique in that his photographs convey a spiritual quality of serenity and calm. He has established a

reputation for his particular approach and his photographs are held in private and corporate collections worldwide.

He is frequently to be seen on British TV and in September 2005 he produced a six part television series on

Landscape Photography.

Charlie Waite has won numerous awards including the prestigious Honorary Fellowship to the British Institute

of Professional Photographers and in early 2007 he was presented with Amateur Photography’s Power of

Photography Award, which is given for work deemed to effectively demonstrate the powerful and memorable

images of which photography is capable.

He is the owner and founder of Light and Land, Europe’s leading Photography workshop and tour company,

running over eighty workshops worldwide where students and lovers of landscape and wildlife photography may

perfect their craft. www.lightandland.co.uk

He has published more than 20 books and the British press said of the best-selling 'The Making of Landscape

Photographs‘ that "Charlie Waite puts the soul back into the Literature of Landscape Photography".

At the festival Charlie will be exploring the motivation and impulse behind wanting to make an image in the first

instance, hence the title being 'Behind the Photograph'. The talk is essentially about the construction and

orchestration of elements within a photograph.

Olivia Arthur: Jeddah DiariesIn association with Magnum

Olivia Arthur began working as a

photographer in 2003 after moving to

Delhi; in 2006 she took a one-year

residency with Fabrica in Italy, during

which she began working on a series

about women and the East-West cultural

divide. This work has taken her to the

border between Europe and Asia, Iran and

Saudi Arabia.

In 2009, the British Council invited her to

teach a two-week photography workshop

to a group of women in Jeddah, Saudi

Arabia; after which she returned to London

with rolls of undeveloped film and the start

of her photo story. 'Jeddah Diary' is an

intimate, fragmentary portrait of the

women Arthur came to know and spend

time with in Saudi Arabia; 'a story that is

as much about the lens of photography as

it is an intimate, if slightly disorienting,

view into the complex visual layers of

Saudi women’s everyday existence.'

Steering clear of Western cliché about

Saudi women Olivia allows us glimpses into a world that is

ordinarily tightly sealed from all outsiders.

“(my) projects about women are about women and how they

deal with their situations. It's about them, not the men around

them. It’s not: "Women are treated as second-class citizens",

it's a much more feminine thing than that – about women in their

lives, making what they can out of a situation, good or bad.”

London-born Olivia Arthur studied mathematics at Oxford

University and photojournalism at the London College of

Printing; she has recently been invited to join Magnum.

A Tribute to Ron Davies

OBE, FDPS, ARPS, Hon Fellow SDUCRon was born in Aberaeron on the 17th December 1921. His love for

photography started whilst working for a local chemist as an errand

boy, aged ten. Mr Thomas taught him to develop and print and gave

him his first Box Brownie.

His photographic career started whilst serving in the RAF in WW2

when he was seconded to a photographic unit in India and the Far

East. After demob he came home to Aberaeron and was just starting

his photographic business when, in 1950, he was paralysed in a

motor cycle accident. During his two and a half years in hospital he

took up the cudgels again and became the hospital medical

photographer. On his return he restarted the business working the

rest of his life from a wheelchair. Initially working as a social

photographer he graduated into press work for the local papers, the

Western Mail, the BBC and Fleet Street then additionally as a cine

cameraman for ITV in Wales.

He took a keen interest in photographic education and taught at vari-

ous art schools as well as at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. He was the

driving force behind the the first mobile darkroom for disabled peo-

ple, famously saying "Ability isn't the problem. Mobility is".

The National Eisteddfod of Wales honoured him in 1986 with green

robed Order of Ovates in the Gorsedd of Bards and further honoured

him in 2002 with the white robed Order of Druids. There was another

accolade in 2003 when he was honoured with an OBE for services

to photography.

Aberystwyth Arts Centre lost a great friend when Ron passed away

at the end of October last year and we are pleased and grateful to

Ron's family for allowing us to show some of his work.

Working Project

The Black and White dress:

Photos by Keith Morris 2013-14

Taking away their individuality by using the same pattern for dress

and background at first glance the images may seem the same.

It is not until closer inspection that we not only see the different per-

sonalities of the models, but reinforcing the fact that regardless of

colour, culture, light hair or dark the women could be from anywhere

in the world. They/we ARE all the same.

Keith is using the Eye Festival to conclude his project and invites any

festival visitor to don the black and white dress and become a part of

this body of work.

Education project

‘A Fresh Eye’ - Photography Competition

for Schools and Young People

Young people across Wales had the opportunity to take part in ‘A Fresh

Eye’, a national photography competition, as part of The Eye International

Photography Festival at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Festival organisers

teamed up with Oxfam Cymru to offer a unique opportunity for students to

develop their skills and understanding of documentary photography and

international issues, by working to two of Oxfam’s themes:

For under 11s and 12 – 15 year olds: ‘Water through a different lens.’

For 16 - 21 year olds: ‘Lift: An uplifting look at tackling poverty.’

Resources and background information for both topics were provided, to

enable the participants to fully understand the programmes of work the

themes related to, and gain an understanding of how photographers have

to work to a brief.

All shortlisted entries can be seen in the Arts Centre Café Gallery during the

Festival and from 18th June – 19th July. The winners will be announced at

the Festival on Saturday.

Prizes include complimentary tickets to the festival, cameras, books from

festival speakers, workshops for the winners’ schools and an individual

tutorial from The Independent’s Head of Pictures, Sophie Batterbury.
