Len Grant delivers Focal Point: Lecture
Published 15.09.08
Photographer, Len Grant was the special guest at the latest instalment of Focal Point: Lectures.
Grant captured the audience’s attention with tales of his projects, illustrated by his work including readings from some of his publications.
From his first commission: Salford’s New Era: Faces of Change and his excitement at “actually being paid to press the shutter” to his recent projects in East Manchester, Grant stressed that it’s the “people not the architecture” that have been central to his work. As a documenter of regeneration projects such as New Islington, he felt he was able to “tell the real story” and highlight the social impact of change.
Grant also offered some helpful hints for newbie photographers, emphasising the importance of deciding what kind of photographer you’re and who your customer is.
“I was really impressed by the quality of the seminar and the speaker. It was hugely enjoyable and beneficial”, said Photographer, Karin Bareman.
