John Blakemore
John Blakemore is, without doubt, one of the finest photographers, darkroom printers and teachers that the UK has ever produced. His work is currently held in the photographic collection of the Birmingham Library and currently holds the position of emeritus professor of photography at Derby University. John’s landscape photographs, taken between the years of 1970 and 1980 and his extensive still life work with tulips are reference points for many for what a personal photography project can look like.
